I'm a liver transplant candidate and advocate for organ donation. I live in Pensacola, FL and I have a contact at a Lynchburg, Virginia TV station that is interested in doing a series of segments on organ donation in the up-coming weeks. April is Organ Donor Awareness Month. They are looking for local individuals to feature on there morning show; receipents of an organ, someone on a waiting list, doctors, surgeons that perform tranplants, etc.
You can contact me at rmp64155@yahoo.com with your profile and I will forward it on to the TV station.

You need to contact the TV station's local organ recovery agency, and they will be able to put the station in touch with plenty of donor families and recipients in their coverage area who are willing to talk to the media, and who will be educated enough to talk about donation intelligently.
You should ask for the public relations or communications department.

each now and then like this one, the position the recipient is really positioned interior a similar well being middle I see no reason it cant be finished? My brother received a bone marrow transplant, that grow to be unsuccessful, again in 1995 and regardless, i extremely desire shall we've universal who the donor grow to be... i imagine the relationship, no matter if that is an organ or bone marrow or in spite of, extremely impacts and sticks with the households on both part and it does supply some closure in a experience. i do not agree regardless of the reality that, that race or faith ought to play any area in choosing or denying. in this example, if it provides the mothers and fathers of Kaylee some peace, then why not enable them to make the alternative a minimum of they're going to discover some convenience in that and gives you them some healthful *closure*. they don't look to be chosing for the different reason than the little female is sweet there interior a similar well being middle and they could sense the soreness ache of Lillians mothers and fathers. The time line is so narrow to provide an organ besides, ought to besides enable Lillian have a probability, she is sweet there waiting. If it were one among my personal little ones in Kaylee's position, i ought to desire the international would not decide me for my judgements on organ donation, and doubtless educate some compassion for his or her situation and the alternative they're compelled to make.

Good luck with this project. Assuming it is all above board, it sounds like a wonderful idea. I am not in any of the categories you seek, but applaud your desire to spread the word.
