National Donate Life Month 2016

Every April we celebrate National Donate Life Month to encourage everyone to register as organ, eye and tissue donors. Help celebrate life!

Donate Life America was inspired by the mighty sunflower. Through life and its struggles, the sunflower reminds us to lean on each other and embrace the life-giving aspects of our lives. It reminds us to live with joy, to focus on the light even during difficult times, and to give freely to save the lives of others when we are gone. To learn more about how you can help raise awareness about organ donation, visit: donatelife.net

World Kidney Day and it's time to Dance

The Word Kidney Day organization is inviting everyone from around the globe, from all cultures and ages to get up and get moving to celebrate their kidneys. The kidneys are vital organs and we should take special care of because they are crucial to our overall health. Did you know your kidneys help:

1. Regulate water
2. Remove waste products and help to balance the body's minerals
3. Produce hormones

Join the "Move Your Feet" online action and get moving!

1. Take a picture of your feet in action
2. Share it on your social media accounts with the hashtag #moveyourfeet4wkd
3. Be creative, keep active and involve your friends and family!
