"Ed is a long time agent and friend of United Life and I’ve had the pleasure of traveling with he and Deb on our incentive trips. Ed spoke of their journey at one of conferences and we made a commitment to support the Dragonfly Transplant Fund any way we could.
[Through the golf outing,] I’ve made some great friends over the years and I look forward to being a part of the team. Even though I’m not a golfer myself, it’s great to see everyone enjoying the day and showing their support for Ed, Deb and the organization.
I hope we continue to bring awareness to others about the benefits of organ donation. I hope the patients and caregivers find peace in knowing that they are not alone in this journey. And, I hope people realize that no act of kindness is ever too small to make a huge difference in this world."
Celebrating life and honoring the gift of organ, eye and tissue donation [April 1, 2024 – Richmond, VA] — Each April, Donate Life America (DLA) leads National Donate Life Month (NDLM), an observance focusing national attention on the need and importance of organ, eye and tissue donation. National Donate Life Month is about the importance of registering your decision to be a donor, honoring deceased and living donors, and celebrating the lives they saved. It is the generosity of donors and donor families that makes saving lives through transplantation possible. Donate Life is the national brand for the cause of donation, uniting the hundreds of donation and transplantation organizations; the more than 100,000 patients waiting for transplant; the life and legacy of the more than 1 million recipients in the U.S. and their families; the donor families who say yes in their time of grief, and the more than 170 million people who have registered their decision to be a donor and help others at the end of their life. Ways to participate in National Donate Life Month 2024: Give hope and help save lives by registering your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at your local DMV, on RegisterMe.org or in your iPhone Health App.
