If you die today, will you just leave a card with a picture of a heart on it, or will you maybe leave your heart to a person who needs a heart?
You won’t need it any more, so why not share a little.

While we are alive, we can donate blood and/or blood products on a regular basis.

Nobody is encouraging you to die.
Nobody is going to give up on keeping you alive because you are an organ donor.
But – somebody may live a longer life if you suddenly die.
A little bone marrow can go a long way – in someone else.
