April is National Donate Life Month. Register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor and make life possible (DonateLife.net.).
Founded in 2009, the Canadian Transplant Society is dedicated to furthering the goals of transplant medicine across Canada. Did you know more than 1,600 Canadians are added to the organ wait list yearly? Ninety per cent of Canadians support organ and tissue donations, but less than 25 per cent have made plans to donate. One donor can benefit more than 75 people and save up to eight lives.
Our son Shawn celebrated a 10-year anniversary April 10. As many of you know he had a double lung transplant and heart surgery. How fitting it would happen in April. Did you know the survival rate after a lung transplant? Around 78 per cent of lung transplant recipients survive the first year following transplantation, accounting to the National Heart and Lung Association. How lucky we are that Shawn has made it through 10 years. He has his ups and downs, but having the will to survive has brought him this far. And as some of you will know Telemiricle helped Shawn on his journey, so any of you who have pledged and haven’t sent in your donation, please do so.
