During Donate Life Month, Mayo Clinic has set a goal to sign up 200 new organ donors. One donor can affect up to 85 lives. A difference can be made for thousands on the transplant waiting list with your help.

You can help reach the goal by:

I am forever thankful to the person who made the decision to be an organ donor. I am alive today because of his decision.

I know I can never give blood as survivor of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; is this also true of organ donations?

@mepowers, I found the following information on Donate Life America - https://www.donatelife.net/

Frequently Asked Questions: Get answers to your questions about organ, eye and tissue donation.
Who can be a donor?
People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs and tissue can be donated.
