7 Million Illinoisans Register to be Organ Donors

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White says the state’s organ and tissue donation registry is now seven million donors strong. About 65 percent of eligible Illinoisans have signed up to give the gift of life. Secretary White says it’s great to see so many Illinoisans with a giving spirit, especially high schoolers that can now sign up. Still, White says about four thousand people are currently in need of an organ and 300 die each year waiting for a transplant. Sign up to become a donor at lifegoeson.com
