February 2023 Anniversaries
« on: February 08, 2023, 12:43:25 PM »
If you would like to have your anniversary included with ours, please see https://livingdonorsonline.org/donor-experiences/donation-anniversaries/. Thank you, and welcome!

Best wishes to all celebrating an anniversary of a living organ donation in February! And sympathy for those for whom it is a time of renewed grieving instead of celebration. February always is an emotional time, as it’s when one among us succumbed to injuries received during her donation surgery. Rita Kocian was a strong advocate for improved policies on our behalf during the few years between her surgery and her death. My service at national policy development started at nearly the same time, and her dedication was and is and inspiration for me.

We are a community brought together by our urge to act personally to help alleviate suffering and improve or extend a life, of a loved one, of a friend, of an acquaintance, or of a complete stranger. We are also the family and friends of those of us who have donated, or intend to donate, or intended and could not. Not least we are the medical professionals aiding our loved ones, caring for us, and making this extraordinary option an available treatment. Even the researchers, journalists, and general public satisfying their curiosity play a role, raising awareness and asking important questions. Let us all remember these folks and what they did this month in years past, especially on National Donor Day, February 14th.
