Blue & Green Spirit Week starts tomorrow and goes through April 12! 💙💚 Join us for fun activities celebrating the Donate Life message, honoring donors, and giving hope to those waiting for a second chance at life.
Sharing your decision with family and friends is one of the most important things you can do, so we added an extra spirit day this year – Share Your Decision Day on Saturday, April 12! ✅ Sing it from the rooftops that you're a registered organ, eye and tissue donor!

You can plan your week with the calendar, and then get ready to share your blue & green colors on (and send some photos to the Blue & Green Day Photo Contest when it opens on Friday, April 11 😉)! 💙💚 Learn more here: https://donatelife.net/how-you-can-help/national-observances-celebrations/blue-green-day/

How amazing is organ donation? The gift of life from one to another!! 💚💚💚

"When I was 14, I was diagnosed with IHSS, a disease that affects the muscles of the heart. At age 26, I underwent a myectomy and a pacemaker implant. Fast forward 27 years, and my heart was failing, and it was not only itself failing but also had affected my liver and kidney to the point they were failing as well. At 53, I underwent a triple organ transplant from one donor. If not for the selfless act of this person. A total stranger who made a decision so that their organs could be used to save lives, I would not be here today. We have all dreamed at one point in our lives that we were heroes and we would save the day. My donor achieved that dream and will always be my hero and the reason that I live every day to the fullest.
He’s never going to die because he’s always going to be with me until I go. We’ll see a lot of stuff together. I hope he enjoys it.” – Doyle 💙💚 Register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at RegisterMe.org or in your iPhone Health App.

A hot topic many times with my sister. Very important to know what helps & what hurts!! 💚💚💚
