    That’s awesome. My niece passed away several years ago waiting on lungs to become available (CF). Everyone in the family is an organ donor now. If we’re not using them might as well give someone else a shot.

      I was diagnosed CF at three months old. I made it into my 20’s before I was on oxygen full time and was listed for a transplant. I got my transplant over 15 years ago and I’m still doing awesome now.

      So I try to thank donors in advance on behalf of the potential recipients of those life saving gifts.
