Title: I Felt Inspired to Talk to Adults About Kidney Diseae, Dialysis & Organ Donation
Post by: Cordelia on May 04, 2012, 05:23:23 AM

Last week I talked to my son's grade 5 class about kidney disease, dialysis and organ donation.

Lastnight I got up in front of a group of about 30 adults and spread the word raising awareness about organ donation. I also told my own personal story and shared it with the group of people. They were very interested to hear about it and enjoyed my speech.

I'm very excited to continue sharing about these things and feel very passionate about it.     :flower;        :)       :bandance;

That's great! Have you considered volunteering with your local Gift of Life organization? They usually have training sessions and opportunities to talk.

Thanks! Yes, that's actually what I'm doing, who I'm volunteering with.

I'm with a group called Life Donation Awareness       :)
