It goes without saying that there are several sites and blogs on the Internet about organ donation and organ transplantation. Here are some of the more interesting ones I found and a bit about them. Greatest Gift Blog is a companion blog to the Greatest Gift Foundation. Becky writes about organ donation, including living donation as she was a living donor when she gave part of her liver to her brother. Donor Cycle is written by “TC,” an organ procurement transplant coordinator. Her blog is written about her life and her work, as well about the different people she comes across over time.

I am. Are you? is part of the Donate Life Illinois program. Aside from the interesting information, it also provides important need-to-know news, such as: “Illinois residents need to RE-REGISTER after Jan. 1, 2006 to join the state’s registry and ensure their wishes to be an organ/tissue donor are honored.”
Thanks again Marijke for calling attention to the issue during National Donate Life Month and highlighting our blog for Donate Life Illinois. I also wanted to give you a heads up on a big push we’ve put together for April 17, which we’ve designated as National Donate Life Facebook Photo/Status Update Day to help get the spread the word on organ/tissue donation. You can check out the event and join in our efforts here – http://tinyurl.com/c5zako
I’d also recommend checking out Revive Hope (http://revivehope.typepad.com/revive_hope/) as they run a great organ donation blog as well.
Thanks!
