April is National Donate Life Month! I am always asked “what can I do to help?”. You can talk with your family, friends, or co-workers about the importance of organ donation. Including myself there are over 1800 people in Minnesota, North and South Dakota waiting for an organ and over 113,000 nation wide on a waiting list. Why are so many waiting? There are not enough registered organ donors!

In January I joined LifeSource staff, volunteer’s, and Kare11 news to answer questions about organ donation at a phone bank. Email me if you have any questions: nikkisnewlungs@gmail.com
