Today is National Donor Day. Your decision to become an organ donor can save lives. 💖 Sign up as a donor today at organdonor.gov/sign-up. Together, we can make a difference! #NationalDonorDay
I donated some of my tissue this weekend and it was a great experience. It was easy, painless, & just great spending time with all the kind and lovely volunteers. We can't do research without the participation folks as donors & volunteers. I'm grateful to be a part of this.
If you are a biological male with no sign of breast cancer (or if you know someone who may want to help further the research of male breast cancer) please contact the Komen Tissue Bank at 317-274-2366 or [email protected] for more information, or to make a donation appointment.
