SIX MILLION PEOPLE HAVE NOW SIGNED UP FOR THE STATE’S ORGAN AND TISSUE DONOR REGISTRY.

IT’S A MILESTONE THAT SECRETARY OF STATE JESSE WHITE IS THRILLED TO HAVE REACHED SAYS SPOKESPERSON DAVE DRUKER.

STILL…300 PEOPLE DIE WAITING FOR A TRANSPLANT EACH YEAR IN ILLINOIS, SO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T REGISTERED YET ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO SO.

WHITE SAYS HE IS DELIGHTED TO HAVE HIT THE SIX MILLION MARK, SINCE JUST ONE PERSON CAN SAVE OR IMPROVE THE LIVES OF UP TO 25 OTHERS THROUGH ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION. SPOKESPERSON DAVE DRUKER SAYS THEY’VE WORKED HARD TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE ISSUE.

DRUKER ENCOURAGES THOSE WHO HAVEN’T REGISTERED TO GO AHEAD AND DO SO ONLINE AT LIFE GOES ON DOT COM.
