April 1 (Day 32) No Foolin' - It Only Takes 10 Minutes to Save Lives.

April is NATIONAL DONATE LIFE MONTH.

Mike Greiner, his wife Sheri and their children, Levi and Chloe are on a mission... visit every state in the nation while promoting the importance of organ donation.  This family knows the importance of organ donation because 6 years ago, Mike's life was saved by a kidney and pancreas transplant.  When asked in a recent interview with 
Mom Logic what she was hoping to accomplish on this trip, Sheri's response was "We hope to get every American registered as an organ donor!" She also explained " When my husband was on the transplant waiting list in 2003, he was one of 81,000 people on the list. As of January 2010, there were 105,000, and now -- just two months later -- it has increased to 106,495! It's easy to think of that as just a number, but it isn't: It's 106,495 PEOPLE waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Sadly, those numbers are increasing far too rapidly. We're going to do our best to do something about it. If more people registered and told their family we could save lives and reduce the number of people on the list.
