To be honest, I had never been totally convinced to register as an organ and tissue donor. Then, having a child that needed a kidney transplant, I took that step and became a registered donor. What an honor to be able to save someone else’s life. To know that I saved my son’s life by giving him one of my kidneys is one of the most important things I could ever do..
I would hope that if my husband or I had been unable to donate to Max that someone else—perhaps a friend, family member, or even a stranger—would have been willing to be tested and see if he or she were a match. Giving the gift of life through organ and tissue donation is the ultimate gift. Through donation, you have the chance to save someone’s life.
