Paul Pepper: Joe Weston and Mark Wakefield, Columbia South Rotary Club, "Organ Donation"

Joe Weston and Mark Wakefield

2018 was a record year for those on an organ donor waiting list in the United States. Almost 38,000 people (out of more than 120,000) received a "life-saving or a life-improving organ transplant," according to DR. MARK WAKEFIELD, MU Health Care. The fortunate ones will remain on the list until a match is found; the unfortunate ones will die waiting. Columbia South Rotary Club's JOE WESTON says the need is obviously there and that becoming an organ donor is just a mouse click away! July 1, 2019
