National Organ & Tissue Awareness Week

April 19th to April 26th, 2009 is National Organ and Tissue Awareness Week. For alot of us, this is a worthwhile discussion and yet, it is hard to start the conversation with our parents, our chidren, our partners, and our friends. Why is that you might ask? Part of it is the thought that we do not want to think about death or what will happen to our body after we die. We do need to be motivated and pushed to have this conversation and we need to realize the difference we can make. Our signed donor card has the possibility of saving up to 8 lives.
I challenge you this week to start the conversation over the dinner table. Visit two sites to find out more about the impact of you signing your organ donor card.
One is Recycleme.org and the second one is OrganDonations.ca

dovetail organizer will donate $1 towards this association with each purchase of a dovetail organizer until the end of April, 09. It is all about the conversation and what better place to store your organ donor and tissue card in your dovetail and share it with your family. I challenge you to start the conversation tonight.
