In the United States, there are currently over 123,000 people – men, women, and children – who are in need of organ transplants to save their life. Another name is added every 10 minutes to the national organ transplant waiting list. Unfortunately, an average of 21 people die every day due to delays in receiving the organ they need. In 2014, roughly 24,000 organ transplants are made possible by over 8,500 deceased donors and nearly 6,000 transplants from living donors.
