Over 115,000 Americans are waiting for an organ transplant. And an average of 18 people die every day because of it. But you can do something to help.

Take action and become a registered donor. You could save up to eight lives with your donation. And there’s no age or medical history restrictions, so anyone can do it. Here’s how:

  1. Sign up. Register as an organ/tissue donor on your state’s donor registry.
  2. License to donate. Make sure you check the box on the back of your driver’s license that says you’re a donor.
  3. Share. Tell your family and friends about your decision and why it’s so important. Hopefully it will encourage them to do the same.
