If you could save a life, would you?

NEW JERSEY HERO ACT SIGNED INTO LAW! THANK YOU for helping to make organ and tissue donation history in New Jersey. With the help of your letters and support, Senate President and Acting Governor Richard Codey signed the New Jersey Hero Act into law on July 22, 2008. Most importantly, this bill will enable us to have a critically-needed online registry and mandatory organ donation education in colleges, high schools, medical, and nursing schools. Please see the link for more information. We can’t thank you enough for helping us make a difference! If you'd like to help us bring organ donation education to your college, please contact Jessica Melore at jessicam@sharenj.org. Please see the link below for more information on the bill: http://donatelifenj.org/news/BillSigning.htm

Over 100,000 people are waiting for a transplant in the U.S. Over 4,500 of them are living in NJ. Every day 19 more names are added to the list.

Did you know 7,000 people died last year because they didn't receive an organ in time?

These people didn’t die from an incurable disease. Each one of them could have been saved, if more people made the donor designation.

It's time to take action!

How do I register to be an organ and tissue

donor in NJ?

1. YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE is the best way to sign up. EVERY TIME you apply for or renew your license, you'll be asked the question. Visit www.state.nj.us/mvc to find your nearest location.

2. VISIT www.DonateLifeNJ.org to sign up to be notified when our online registry is up and running (hopefully soon!)

3.TELL YOUR FAMILY. While 90% of the U.S. believes donation is a good thing, most families don’t take the time to share their wishes with each other.

4.SPREAD THE WORD. Encourage others to register and save lives, and encourage them to join this group!
