15A TYPICAL AD
Each year, about 1,000 New Englanders receive a
life saving organ transplant - like ten year old
Dominic Lauranzano, of Beverly - a liver
transplant recipient and a great football fan.
Dominic's life was saved because someone like
you made a decision to be a donor when they
renewed their drivers license. Sadly, many
others will die waiting for a transplant because
of a lack of donors. So, please, be a champion
and make the decision to Donate Life by signing
up to be an organ and tissue donor when you renew
your drivers license. To learn more visit
donatelife.net. And remember, YOU have the power
to Donate Life.
