April is National Donate Life month and we want YOU to be educated on how you can help save a life!
Jessica MacLean, from the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois, will discuss how to become a LIVING donor. Are you unsure what organs you can donate or what being a living donor would mean for you? Well, don't worry W3! covers all of these questions and more!
Jessie White, Secretary of State, shares with WEEKENDSwithWHITNEY what his program for organ donation consists of and how every single one of us can help give life to someone in need. He explains how simple it is for us all to sign the back of our driver's license so in death we can donate life!
That's not all! John Tait, former NFL Chicago Bear, will talk with us about his transition from being a professional football player to a documentary film student at Columbia College Chicago. John's interest in living donations and documentaries led him to create a short film, The Search and the Gift, about living kidney donations.
WEEKENDSwithWHITNEY hopes this episode inspires our fans to become organ donors. We also hope this helps our former guest, Harvey Mysel, find a kidney donor!
