NATIONAL DONOR SABBATH
Today marks the end of the 2015 National Donor Sabbath weekend (November 13-15) and faith leaders from many religions, donor families, transplant recipients, and donation and transplantation professionals participated in services and programs to educate the public about the need for life saving and healing gifts passed to others through transplantation, while also encouraging people to sign up as organ, eye and tissue donors. The advocacy of the church for organ donation dramatically increases the opportunity to educate communities about organ donation and transplantation, and results in more people registering to be organ donors. As the recipient of a life saving organ transplant, I am profoundly grateful for the support of the church and all of the advocates who work tirelessly to increase the number of lives saved through organ donation.
