Why is Organ Donation So Important?
There are nearly 102,000 people currently waiting for a transplant in the United States, more than 2,500 are children
Every 13 minutes – another name is added to the waiting list
Despite record numbers of transplants - the list is growing at the rate of more than 300 patients each month
