Here is my first "Did you know?"
DID YOU KNOW.....
that as of 5:45 a.m. (EDT) there are 110,605 people on the national waiting list? That's 88,112 for a kidney, 1,380 for a pancreas, 2,232 for kidney/pancreas combo, 16,154 waiting for a liver, 264 for an intestine, 3,168 for a heart, 1,754 for lungs (single or double), and 65 waiting for heart/lung combo.
Those may look like just numbers to you but they're not. They're PEOPLE! Remember: 15 years ago I was part of that number!
