Live.Love.Donate.Inc spent a couple of hours at Shellattés in Neenah to promote organ donation and help register people to become an eligible donor.
Live.Love.Donate.Inc co-founder Lindsay Clark said National Donor Day is an annual event designed to raise awareness about tissue, blood and organ donation, all of which can be life-saving.
Clark and her sister started the organization back in college, turned it into a nonprofit, and it’s been going for nearly a dozen years. She says the inspiration came from their family’s story.
“Our dad was a two-time kidney transplant recipient,” Clark said. “It’s a cause that’s close to our heart, and it’s changed our lives by giving our dad a second chance at life twice. I think it’s really important for people to know.”
