Steve-o made his triumphant return to the Apple stage yesterday, and before he announced all kinds of wonderful new things for the Apple faithful, he made a remark I was deeply pleased to hear:
“I’m very happy to be here today with you all. As some of you know about 5 months ago I had a liver transplant, so I now have the liver of a mid-20’s person who died in a car crash. I wouldn’t be here without such generosity. I hope all of us can be as generous and become organ donors.”
Gretchen Rubin at the Happiness Project cites this today as well. Organ donation is intensely meaningful to me, and the story of why is here.
It’s important. There are no words to describe the miracle of a transplant. Please be a donor.
Did you watch Grey's Anatomy last night about this? Oh wait, you said you don't watch tv. Hmm.
