One Good Turn Deserves Another

You never know what's going to happen when you post to all humanity on the internet - you might even rethink putting a picture of your 60 year old self with celery coming out of your nose (actually didn't rethink that at all!).

However, because of the series of postings that I did on my recent kidney donation, I got a comment from a lovely young lady who donated a liver lobe (I think I have that right) to her brother in 2006. As a result of her experience she has set up a foundation for living donors, The Greatest Gift Foundation. She also has a blog associated with the Foundation and posted a lovely comment related to my experiences.

If anything I have written, has given any reader an interest in this topic, I would strongly suggest you visiting her. I think her effort is well worth supporting.

I saw becky's comment and meant to check out the organization then. I'm glad you mentioned it! I've bookmarked her blog for regular reading. I think that organ donation really touches everyone that experiences it- even vicariously. It has definitely made me consider anonymous donation. Something I don't think I would have thought about before...
