An average kidney transplant lasts between 10-15 years. The kidney Ken received from his mother has lasted over 45 years -- still going strong and looking forward to the future.
We've got a great way for you and your family to have fun and help raise awareness this Halloween!
Order Halloween Hero Hangers Below.
Why Halloween? Well, it's the one night every year where people answer their doors. It's also the perfect opportunity to let your local community know that you're not only trick-or-treating for candy, you're also out there to educate and inspire others to share the gifts of life, sight and health.
Hangers have information about organ, eye and tissue donation. BONUS: Hangers can be cut out and turned into a finger puppet super hero cape. If someone isn't home, just hang one on the doorknob.
If you have questions about this or any other Donate Life Northwest campaign, please email kaneje@ohsu.edu
Please take a few photos of you and your family in costume with the hangers and email them to salter@ohsu.edu to share with our community through social media. Have a great Halloween!
(Note: Due to the overwhelming response, you may receive fewer hangers than requested. No matter what - we'll make sure to get you as many as we can spare.)
