If you're attending tomorrow's 2nd Chance Run in Houston, don't forget to bring pictures to decorate your Donor Remembrance Yard Sign! We want everyone to help honor your donor hero, and these 12x18" signs will do just that as they line the race course. If you didn't get one today at packet pick-up, don't worry! We will hand signs out again tomorrow for you to personalize before the race begins. Special shoutout to Leslie T., one of LifeGift's Community Engagement Specialists and 2x kidney recipient, for decorating a donor remembrance yard sign in honor of Roy, a donor hero. "Roy deserves this and so much more for what he's done for us as recipients," says Leslie. Roy's mother, Shannon L., works at LifeGift as one of our Family Support Coordinators. We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

"Who Do You Run For?" For #TeamJordan, it's to honor the life and legacy of their donor hero and to help provide others with a second chance at life. ???? Every year they participate in the Houston 2nd Chance Run, Team Jordan shows out, bringing dozens of their family members and friends together to support organ, eye and tissue donation. In all of the fun of the day, they always remember their true reason... Jordan Emerson was 25 years old when he lost his life due to complications from a snowboarding accident. In their tragedy, his family chose hope and made the decision to donate Jordan's organs, eyes and tissue, directly impacting several families and thousands others through research programs. Monica, Jordan's mom, now volunteers much of her time to being a LifeGift Ambassador of Hope. If you're participating in Houston's 2nd Chance Run, be sure to meet Team Jordan! Remember, you still have time to create your own team and honor your donor hero. To do so, visit here >>> https://ow.ly/2ktl50T6Nak #DonateLife #2ndChanceRun #GiveHope #Houston

We encourage you to take a moment to pause...remembering the ones who lost their lives, reflecting on those who rose in service in response to the attacks and reminding people of the importance of working together to bring peace. We will #NeverForget. The anniversary of 9/11 has become, to many, a "Day of National Service," providing a positive way to forever remember and pay tribute to those impacted. If you can't participate in any other way, one easy way is by registering or encouraging others to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor at https://lnkd.in/e4sBYU8J. #GiveHope #DonateLife #911 #OfferHope #StrongerTogether
