Support the mission to save and heal lives through donation!
This is my 5th year running the Falmouth Road Race for New England Donor Services. As most of you know this organization is important to me because my Uncle Bob had received a double lung transplant. This transplant allowed Bob to be alive for 6 more years. There wasn't a day that he didn't think of his organ donor.
Before Bob passed away he had asked me to be apart of this team. He wanted a way to be able to pay it forward. This organization raises funds to educate others about organ and tissue donation.
Each year that I participated in this event at least one person has come up to me to either ask questions about the organization or to share their own personal story. These interactions remind me why I participate in this event every year.
Every 12 minutes another name is added to the national waiting list and an average of 22 people die each day waiting for their heart, lung, kidney, liver or pancreas transplant.
Please consider donating to this amazing organization.
Description
New England Donor Services is the not-for-profit organization serving the region for organ and tissue donation. There are currently 6,500 patients waiting for an organ transplant in New England and countless others will require tissue to heal this year. With approximately half of the population registered donor, it's critical for more people to join the Donor Registry today. Funds are needed to help educate the community about the importance of organ and tissue donation and the need across the community. Give now and show your support!
