Caitlin, summer 2014

 

I asked my daughter Caitlin to pose for this photo almost 2 years ago. She has said “ok” to my posting it to raise organ donor awareness during organ donor awareness month. Caitlin has been on the waiting list for a double lung transplant since April 24, 2014. Two years! And she’s not alone in her wait. 121,000 people are currently waiting for organs in the USA.

Are you a donor? I’ve been one since age 16. It takes two secs to register. You can’t take them with you but you can leave a bit of yourself behind and save a life.
