We chose organ donation because it is a gift of life. So on July 18, let’s all come together again and raise awareness about organ donation and the good it can do. Why organ donation? In Australia, more than 1,700 people are waiting for organ transplants. In Latin America, more than 50,000. In Europe and the United States, more than 170,000. In China, more than 2 million. In Africa, there isn’t enough organization to really know. Without an organ transplant, these people will die.
We’re doing everything we can to help you blog about organ donation. Here is a link to the bulletin board http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/blogcatalog-organ-donor-awareness-challenge with resources in the United States and around the world. You can also visit Transplant Success (http://www.transplantsuccess.org/) to find dozens of success stories.

To participate, on Wednesday, July 18, write a blog post asking all your readers to sign up as a donor. Your post should:

Have the title “BlogCatalog Community Organ Donation Awareness Campaign” (or some variation).
Explain the importance of organ donation and how it is a gift of life.
Link to one (or all three) of the sites we’ve listed or the most suitable site for your country.
And add a link to our BlogCatalog Community Organ Donation Awareness Campaign page so we can give you and your blog credit for being part of it.
If you have any questions, please e-mail tony@blogcatalog.com. We will also be posting some ideas that you can use to tell your story about how organ donation is a gift of life! And please, don’t forget to tell your friends to blog about this too. Together, I know we can raise awareness and prove bloggers can do good!

Happy Blogging,
Your BlogCatalog Team
