We can be proud that more than 700,000 Maine people – including myself – are signed up to be organ donors. If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so when you renew your license at the BMV, or by visiting the National Donate Life Registry at registerme.org.

Today, I joined MaineSOS and New England Donor Services to celebrate #DonateLifeMonth at the Maine State House. Organ donors saved more than 1,000 lives in New England last year, but more than 100,000 people across the United States are still waiting for their transplant.
