Durham Woman to be Honored in Rose Parade

     Delores Benton Evans of Durham, N.C., received son Ryan's left kidney the day after he died. "It is amazing that in life, he could not donate a kidney to me, but after his death it was possible," she said. Delores kept a personal promise by becoming an avid volunteer to increase organ, tissue and bone donations and advocate for kidney patients on dialysis.
      Delores was recently selected as a winner of Astellas Ride of a Lifetime essay contest, after submitting an essay describing her unique story and how her life was transformed by transplantation. As a contest winner, Delores will be participating in the Rose Parade on January 1, 2010, riding aboard the Donate Life float which honors those touched by transplantation, including a floragraph of Ryan.

 

Say, "YES."

Stories of Hope through

Organ and Tissue Donation

 
   

    

     CDS' educational DVD entitled Say, "Yes" highlights the heartfelt stories of three North Carolina families who’ve been touched by donation: Kara Thio, who had a lifesaving transplant when she was only 8 months old, tells the story of her transplant along with her mother, Victoria. Emmitt and Charlotte Ray, whose son Jason, the UNC mascot, gave the precious gift of organ and tissue donation share the huge impact Jason’s decision made. Finally, Larry Bordeaux and his wife and teenage son, share what life is like for them as Larry continues to wait more than a decade for a liver transplant.

     Commons misconceptions are also highlighted in order to dispel the myths about donation. Facts such as what can be donated , the first-person consent law, and ways to register as a donor in North Carolina are also covered. Click above to view a trailer of the DVD.

     Please email info@carolinadonorservices.org or call 1-800-200-2672 to order a free DVD for your school or organization.
