I have started

Not long ago I challenged you all to have discussions with people about their organ donation status. Yes, it's difficult and I do know that it's not everyone's cup of tea.

I talked about it with two of my co workers over lunch. Both are donors but one has not talked it over with their family. I explained that even if it says so on your license, which they both showed me, there is still a chance that the organs will not be donated if the family challenges or refuses it to happen.

I then went on to explain according to OPTN.org data, there are about 13,000 people that die every year that could donate but aren't donors.
