How about another?

The last two days I have wrote about two different "feel good" stories.  Why stop there?  I have another feel good story to report on, but with your help, it can be a feel great story.  
During my stay in the hospital, my wife had found another couple in Texas going through a strikingly similar situation that we were.  He had a liver transplant due to PSC, a colectomy, and was waiting for a second liver transplant due to the reoccurrence of PSC.  His name is Geoff and his wife Erin is blogging about their experience as well.  She has recently started a Donate Life initiative in which she is trying to get 500 people to register as Organ Donors.  She can do a much better job explaining it then I could.  To find out more and how to register, check out her blog here.
The numbers are staggering.  As of right now, there are over 100,000 people on a transplant waiting list in the United States.  On average, 18 of those people will die each day.  It doesn't have to be that way.
