April is National Donate Life Month. As I have blogged about before, our family is a donor family. When Bryan's mom died in 2013, her life saving organs were donated. A wonderful gentleman named Gary received her liver and it saved his life. He has since become an advocate for donor awareness. He is holding the First Annual Save A Life Golf Classic in Charlotte, NC. The goal is to raise awareness for organ donation and honor donors and their families also. It's in October and we are looking forward to being there for it.
It's a tragedy any time you lose a family member. An awesome gift of love and selflessness can come though when you donate your organs. We have gotten to witness someone have life and become part of our family. We also honor Peggy's memory and how much she loved all of us by allowing her organs to help someone else.
It's an honor to donate and if you have not chosen to be an organ donor, go do it today.
