Family hits the road to save lives

According to a story on AOLnews.com, the Greiner family from Illinois is spending the next year on the road traveling to each of the 50 states to spread the word about the importance of organ donation. Mark and Sheri Greiner and their two kids began their journey this month to commemorate Donate Life Month. Organ donation is very important to this family because Mike received a life-saving kidney transplant in 2003. The family begin advocating for transplantation in 2004 and has no plans to let-up. In fact, they have set-up a website (http://www.bestplacesintheusa.com/) so that Americans everywhere can track their progress and learn how to become organ donors in the state they live.

P.S. I must thank my friend Heather for passing this story along to me.
