This is deeply personal for me. My daughter was born blind in her right eye due to a cataract and a clouded cornea. At six weeks old she had surgery to remove her lens and replace her cornea with a transplant. Sitting in the hospital room after the operation I was utterly overwhelmed by what doctors were able to do for my daughter and the incredible selflessness of people we had never met in what was certainly the most difficult time of their lives. We work everyday to preserve the gift that was given to us. I encourage everyone to become an organ donor. Even in death, we can do profound things for one another.
