Donate Life Month

Donate Life Month - Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 5:35PM EST

April is National Donate Life month, and beginning today, Pennsylvania is launching a month long campaign to save lives.
“Life Begins With You" is a statewide campaign for organ and tissue donor awareness.

The campaign is an educational and outreach effort to encourage Pennsylvanians to say "yes" to organ and tissue donation.

The efforts are aimed at saving the lives of more than 7,000 people who are currently waiting for life-saving transplants in the Commonwealth.

One organ donor can save up to six lives and help up to 50-people.

Pennsylvania’s secretary of health, Everette James says, "Between 10,000 and 12,000 people die annually who are considered medically suitable for donation.

Yet only an estimated 6,000 people donate."
