Presentation and slideshow from Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network's Day of Remembrance. The event took place on September 12, 2009 at Wildlife Prairie State Park in Peoria, IL with over 700 donor family members gathering to pay tribute to loved ones.
Alison Smith, vice president of operations for Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network addresses four common myths that often stand as barriers to organ/tissue donor registration.
There are currently more than 4,700 Illinoisans and 105,000 people nationwide awaiting lifesaving transplants. Our mission is to register Illinois residents as organ/tissue donors in the state's organ donor registry to help save these lives.
