Your Turn: Register as organ, tissue donor to help save lives

If you could be a hero and save or improve the lives of up to 50 people, would you do it?

Most of us won't have the opportunity in our lives to make an impact this tremendous. But, we can be heroes after death: through organ and tissue donation.

101,000 Americans, including 3,000 Ohioans, are currently waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. They're waiting for a hero to say, Yes to organ and tissue donation. Sadly, 18 men, women and children will die each day in the U.S. because a transplant didn't come in time. You have the power to change that.

April is Donate Life Month, and it's a perfect time to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor. You can register when you renew your license at the BMV or online at www.lifelineofohio.org.

Make the decision to be a hero. Be an organ and tissue donor. Join the Ohio Donor Registry today.

For more information, call 800-525-5667 or visit www.lifelineofohio.org.

Kent Holloway is the chief executive officer of Lifeline of Ohio.
