The sad fact is that we do not think of organ donations until we or a family member needs one.

I know the importance first hand. Austin, my son who has helped with Chief Delphi and has been at many competitions and also posts here on this forum was granted a "Gift" from another generous person.

A childhood disease we all take for granted - chicken pox - took his eye at the age of 4. Being on a waiting list is no fun. His gift of a cornea came from a young man in his early twenties that was killed in a auto accident. His "gift" lives on in my son.

I encourage all to fill out the donor card and get registered. After all " Don't take your organs to heaven .... heaven knows we need them here".
