Happy World Bike Day!!! In honor of the occasion, we want to give a big shout out to one of our favorite cyclists - living donor and NKFW CEO - Mike Crowley! Mike has already been back on his bike after donating his left kidney over the winter. Where do you think he should ride next? (fb)
"Organ Donation: Where Heroes Are Made" My poster relates to this prompt because it encourages people to do more research and consider kidney donation. Donating is such an amazing thing to be a part of, and my poster shows a couple facts about donation. I chose the color scheme to match the donor stickers on an id, and to match the kidney association's logo. Becoming a donor can help so many people in different ways. Whether it is the person needing a transplant, their family, or the donater's family, kidney donation leaves a positive, and lasting impact. So many people are in need of a transplant and the lucky ones who do get them, are able to live a much healthier, and fulfilling life. I hope that my poster encourages at least one person to look into becoming a donor because my artwork could be the reason lives are saved. WI high school artists responded to the prompt "In gratitude for saving a life through the selfless act of organ donation.” See all of the designs and vote for your favorites in the "People's Choice" category at https://www.kidneywi.org/postercontest/ (fb)
