Surgical teams worked through the night to give my friend a double lung transplant. It went well and her new lungs are working, though there is still a long road to recovery ahead. Please sign up to be an #OrganDonor if you are young enough! #GiftOfLife
Even if you think you have a common blood type, there is always a need for blood. Plus you can get yourself a free T-shirt.

Went to #ServiceOntario downtown #Barrie today and I finally got #GiftOfLife green ribbon (for organ donation) graphic licence plates! I thought I was going to have to order them!

Be a blood donor. #donateblood #giftoflife
For many years I donated blood. And now I am on the receiving end. I’ve lost count of the number of transfusions. Today I need 2 units of RBC and 1 of platelets. There are so many others sitting here today, the day after Christmas.
Be kind. The effort is in taking the time and getting to the blood bank. The rest is a piece of cake.
It truly is the gift of life!

Four years ago, I spent the holidays intubated in an ICU with a sudden diagnosis of cardiogenic shock due to heart failure. Today, I thank my organ donor, Lucy, for giving me this #giftoflife ♻️ through heart transplantation. #thankyou #organdonation

Blood donation day. If you have time and are able, please make an appointment to give blood before the holidays. It's always needed but especially these days.
