We enjoyed sharing and educating on organ, eye and tissue donation with Veterans and the staff of Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System. It’s truly a honor to be amongst those who have served our country and protect our freedom. #donatelife #veterans

lopa.org/podcast or your favorite podcast app! A Question of Faith: The Movie In this episode of The Gifted Life Podcast our hosts chat with T.C. Stallings, one of the stars in the faith-based movie A Question of Faith. The movie centers around three families whose lives become intertwined following a series of tragedies. Donate Life America is encouraging people to register as organ, eye and tissue donors in support of the movie’s message about the power of donation. You’ll also hear about a very special 5K race, we honor Hero Bill Martinez, and answer a listener’s question on episode 67 of The Gifted Life Podcast. #podcast #donatelife @aquestionoffaith

#HonoringAHero❤️ The LSU Tigers meeting the Auburn Tigers on game day, October 14, 2017, will not be the only connection made on the field that day. The heart of an LSU Tiger will be beating in the chest of an Auburn Tiger, thanks to a family’s decision to say YES to organ, eye and tissue donation. Hero John Clarke Perry will be honored on the football field for saving lives through donation at only six months old. One of his recipients, 2-year-old Davis Boswell, will also be in attendance. The Perrys (LSU Fans) & the Boswells (Auburn Fans) have vowed to use the LSU vs Auburn match up as a way to educate about organ, eye and tissue donation. Before the 2:30 p.m. game start, the Perry family and the Boswell family will work with LSU Manship students and representatives from #DonateLifeLA to increase donation awareness and increase the donor registry. Also, during the game...watch & listen for #donation information! ❤️💜💛 @manshipschool

Join the Donate Life #MyEncore Challenge! We are grateful to help make encores possible for the people who are waiting, and to honor the donors, living donors and donor families that make LIFE possible. We were challenged by Donate Life America, and accepted! For the Challenge, we included Mr. Charles’ words, picture and a video of him singing Amazing Grace while the Donate Life flag is raised. Register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at DonateLife.net/MyEncore. “Hi my name is Charles Henderson. I'm a November 4th 2014 heart recipient. My journey started back in 2004 when I suffered a massive heart attack and had to undergo a quadruple bypass. My heart grew weaker and I was referred to Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. My heart was sustained by medicine, and I had to have a constant drip going to my heart to keep me surviving. I was placed on the list September 3, 2014 and was blessed with a new heart in November. It was through the wishes of my hero David Cologne Junior, affectionately known as Dudu. I've come to know his family, Jennifer and David Sr., his twin sisters Casey and Tracy, along with his brother Nick. We spend time together, enjoying life, and I get to learn more about Dudu. It is because of Dudu’s wish to save lives that I'm here today. One person can save up to nine lives. Please donate; we need you.” Now, we challenge you to share your #MyEncore stories, register & encourage others to register their decision to be a donor at DonateLife.net/MyEncore - and challenge 5 (or more!) friends to do the same! Join the Challenge! #StandTriumphant #BowInGratitude #DonateLife #MyEncore @donatelifeamerica
