A Very Personal Post

If you read this blog with any regularity you know I recently lost a friend in RL. She died when she got an infection common in lung transplant patients. The lungs she got from a generous donor gave her three extra years with her sons, who were 4 and 6 years old when she died.

I could tell you about my friend Pat who has a donor kidney and my son's friend Jack who got a donor heart when he was just 8 years old. Instead, let me just say that organ donation is something I feel strongly about.

Recently I learned my friend Delinda is waiting for an organ transplant. Delinda does amazing work in Second Life and over time we have become friends. I respect her a great deal and when I learned that she too needs an organ, it hit me particularly hard. Please go to Delinda's blog and watch the short video by SLer Drew Carey. Then take the poll. Thanks.
