For Day 2 of #HOPEweek, we're honoring former Yankees minor league athletic trainers Jon Becker and Mike Sole. Last year, after learning that Mike needed a liver transplant, Jon started a GoFundMe page, which raised over $25,000 to cover Mike’s medical expenses and also spread the word that Mike desperately needed to find a living donor. With the site up and running, it dawned on Jon that he should find out if he was a candidate. Months later — after many doctor visits — Jon and Mike successfully underwent the lifesaving joint procedure. This HOPE Week, we’re teaming up with Donate Life America to help save lives. More than 100,000 people nationwide are waiting for an organ transplant. 1 donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation. Become an organ donor today: registerme.org/hopeweek

Living organ donation can be a complex but rewarding journey. Here are 3 steps to get started if you're considering donating to a friend or loved one in need: 1. Get in touch with a transplant hospital: for non-directed donation, this can be the hospital of your choice; for directed donation, connect with your recipient on where they are listed. 2. Receive an initial health screening and blood test. 3. Connect with your own independent donor advocate (IDA).

This week (23-30 July) is #DonateLifeWeek Did you know that there are 1,800 Australians currently waiting for life-saving organ transplants? This year, DonateLife Australia is asking Australians: Can you donate one minute to give someone else a lifetime? 80% of Australians aged 16 and over support organ and tissue donation, yet only seven million are registered. This number should be closer to 16 million. It only takes one minute to register. Register today: https://bit.ly/3u2qpCf #organdonor #donor #organdonation

This DonateLife Week, we're asking Australians: Can you donate 1 minute to give someone else a lifetime? Right now there are 1,800 Australians waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and thousands more whose lives could be transformed through organ or tissue donation. We know 80% of Australians aged 16 support organ and tissue donation - yet only 7 million are actually registered. That number should be closer to 16 million. That means there are 9 million Australians who say they support organ and tissue donation, but haven't yet signed up. We need your help to encourage more Australians to get behind organ and tissue donation. #donate #lifesaving #organs It only takes 1 minute to register. https://lnkd.in/gpeUVnM
