March - Kidney Month

[WYOAnne]

Hi Everyone!

In answer to Kelli & discussion with March 8th being National Kidney Day. 2 years ago, when I was still working, I had asked ahead of time, if when we had our all-staff meeting in March if I could tell my story of Chronic Kidney Disease. I told my story of kidney failure & transplant at this meeting stressing the need for organ donation. With a computer at the meeting, we had nearly 200 employees sign up to be a donor. I actually had 2 come forward wanting to be a living donor. In the 2 years since, both have given a kidney to someone they did not know before giving someone this miracle. Maybe, this is something you could do at your own workplace? Organize an organ donor sign up.......
