There are a lot of myths out there regarding transplants. JRI is an organization that has grown out of Jamie's own personal experience with organ transplants, and works hard to create awareness of what we all can do to help others. I am proud to be able to do whatever part I can to help. It is not a pleasant discussion, but it is one we all need to have. There are a lot of lives that can be saved through organ donations.
