Thirty Second PSA:

“Fifty years ago a miracle happened – the first successful kidney transplant. TODAY, over 89,000 people in the US are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. A new patient joins the waiting list every 16 minutes. Every 96 minutes, a person dies while waiting. Tens of thousands of individuals are awaiting tissue transplants.

Registered organ donors are in short supply. Because people don’t register to donate, others, who could have a second chance at life, don’t get one.

You can become a registered organ donor by visiting the International Association for Organ Donation’s website at www.iaod.org. Your information will be immediately forwarded to the Michigan Organ and Tissue registry. It only takes a minute.

Transplantation saves lives, but only if YOU help.

For more information, visit www.iaod.org today.”
