Donor Registry has record year
      A record number of people joined the Michigan Organ Donor Registry in 2011, Gift of Life Michigan has announced. A total of 398,000 registered last year to someday donate their organs, eyes and tissue. That’s a 25 percent increase from the 320,000 who signed up in 2010. The Donor Registry now holds 2.4 million names.

     

Myth Busters

There's no age limit for organ donation and many people with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, are still able to donate organs. Even people with HIV and hepatitis can donate to others with the same illnesses. Please don't rule yourself out. Sign up today.
