Donate Life


On a personal off-topic note, as many of you know Kekula was the fortunate recipient of a liver transplant in 2001 and is only here because of one woman and her family who gave the ultimate gift. April is National Donate Life Month, and I'd like to draw your attention to a new website launched by the Organ Donor Center of Hawaii, an online organ donor registry on www.donatelifehawaii.com.
The spirit of giving has long been a fundamental part of Hawaii’s culture. Today, Hawaii residents can continue in this tradition of generosity by choosing to help the hundreds of local residents who are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. Donate Life Hawaii is an online registry that allows Hawaii residents to declare their choice to donate life by being an organ and/or tissue donor. Donate Life Hawaii offers a new opportunity to make your decision known. Your selfless decision to donate organs and/or tissues may help end the needless suffering of the nearly 100,000 patients currently waiting for a life-saving transplant, as well as their families and loved ones.

Once you register on Donate Life Hawaii, you have documented your legal decision to be an organ and/or tissue donor. This information will only be released upon your death and will only be shared with your family by medical professionals and hospital staff. Participation in this registry is voluntary; you may change your mind at any time.

There is no greater gift you can share than the gift of life. Register your decision to be an organ donor today.

The site has an FAQ that dispels most myths about organ donation. Go register as a donor today.
