This handsome young man is missed by so many. Each year since his passing, his family and friends have organized a blood drive and organ donor enrollment drive in honor of the amazing gifts he gave through cornea and tissue donation, as well as his pursuit of a career in medicine. Please help us pay tribute to Colin, and thank his parents Tracy and Mike for their kindness. It's been a privilege to share all of the wonderful donor, transplant recipient and volunteer tributes this #DonateLifeMonth

On this final day of our #DonateLifeMonth tributes, we celebrate the life of Katherine and honor her for the extraordinary gifts she gave to others. We are so grateful to donor families who shared their loved one's photos and gave us a glimpse of their beautiful lives.

Among the many things we learned in 2020 is to not take anything for granted. Resolve to live life to the fullest, and consider helping others do the same by giving the Gift of Life through organ, eye and tissue donation. Joining the donor registry only takes a few minutes, but the impact of that simple act could be lasting. #PassLifeOn #DonateLife #2021resolutions Donate Life New York State

One gift that doesn't go under the tree: the gift of life. Please take a moment to enroll as an organ and tissue donor at donatelifenys.org/register. Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. Peg Bracken
