National Donor Day - a day where one can give the gift of life. National Donor Day was started by the U.S. Department of Health and Human service in 1998. While many celebrate 14 FEB as Valentine’s Day and give away cards, candy and flowers to their loved ones, some encourage themselves to give the ultimate gift of love by signing to become the donors of organs and tissue. With the support of US Department of Health and Human Service; Valentine’s Day has been des-ignated as National Donor Day to increase the awareness of the lives that can be saved by donating organs and tissues. It is estimated that 50 lives can be touched and saved if one person becomes the donor of organ and tissue. To learn more about donating the gift of life, check out the following website: http://www.organdonor.gov/index.html .
