organ-donor

April marks the 11th annual National Donate Life Month, a celebration commemorating those who have given or received the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation and those who continue to wait for a lifesaving transplant.

Countless lives in North Carolina have been saved by donation. There are now 112 million registered donors in the United States, 4.4 million from the state of North Carolina.

• Nationally, more than 121,000 men, women and children currently await lifesaving organ transplants. Nearly 3,500 of them are right here in North Carolina. Fortunately, one donor can save or enhance the lives of more than 50 people.

• Sadly, and average of 18 people die each day due to the lack of available organs.

If you are not already registered, you can join today by signing up at your local DMV office or online at DonateLifeNC.org/register. This online registry allows you to create or update your donor record at any time. Joining the North Carolina registry means that, once you turn 18, you have made a legally binding decision to become a donor at the time of your death. Just like your will, it is a decision that cannot be overturned by others. Whether you’ve been registered for years or are just signing up now, please make sure your loved ones know about your decision to save lives through organ and tissue donation.
