I volunteer my time to COre, the Center for Organ recovery and Education. My mom got a liver transplant and I got 13 extra years with her. In memory of her, her donor, and her donor family, I spend time setting up information tables, going to events in the community, and telling my story to groups. If I get anyone to sign up to be a registered organ and tissue donor I feel like I've done something. If I get one person to think about it or even take paperwork, ask a question, I feel like I'm making a step in the right direction. I've done over a 100 hours the past two years. This year, I went to our state capital, Harrisburg, PA, stood on the steps outside and every 18 seconds one of us laid down. In Pennsylvania everything 18 hours someone dies waiting for a life saving transplant. We are trying to get them to pass a new bill, ours hasn't been updated in over 20 years! I have a tattoo that says, Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them here. Please think about that and recycle yourself!
