Join BlogCatalog this Wednesday in the first world wide blogger social campaign to raise awareness about organ donation and the issues surrounding organ donation Success Story! Simply blog about the issue!  Remember, organ donation is donating the gift of life.

Alex Pratt of Los Angeles suffered from kidney disease for over 20 years. It was a huge burden on his wife and two children until he received his first transplant in 1993. Unfortunately, it only lasted 9 years, so he had to wait another four years for a second transplant. He would have never gotten a second chance if not for Matchingdonors.com and a paired donation program at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

This is a great opportunity to show that bloggers can come together to do good in the world, raising awareness and asking tough questions about causes and issues that do not always get the attention they deserve.
