Great news arrived today: Starting today, on Facebook, you can add that you’re an organ donor to your timeline, and share your story about when, where or why you decided to become a donor.

Here are the instructions: From your timeline, begin as you would to update your status. In that box, there is a button that says “Life Event.” Click that, and then select “Health and Wellness” and choose “Organ Donor.” And make sure to click on the “Officially Register” link to make your decision to be a donor official by registering in your state. It’s that easy! Please share this post with everyone you know.

This has already had an impact on Minnesota’s registry. As of this afternoon 119 new people registered to become an organ donor. On a usual day there are only about five. Keep spreading the word!

Here is a video from ABC News explaining how to sign up and other videos where organ donation has touched their lives. ABC News Exclusive: New Facebook Tool Helps Organ Donors ‘Share Life’
