Young Donor

Saw this post from DoSomething.org today:

“Today’s top photo is a pretty powerful one.

In China several doctors bow to an 11 year old boy diagnosed with terminal brain cancer who managed to save the lives of several others by donating his organs shortly after he passed.

Incredibly touching.”

The photo captures an extraordinary range of emotion, the tragedy and honor of it all.

It reminds us that life can be so fleeting.

YOLO, as the young kids say.

I list myself as an organ donor on my driver’s license and hope that you do too.

When it comes, it comes. And at that time, hopefully we can prevent it from coming for others too early too.
