Please, be a part of this project!! This is an OHIO project only for now!! We want to start the ball rolling here and NOW before others do it! The goal is to collect 50 – 75 transplant recipients in Ohio to send in clips to add to the presentation. After we gather the 50 from all over Ohio, we will send it to the media via YouTube. This is VERY important and we need to take care of this in VERY short order!! Get others recipients involved!!
I am looking at August 15th deadline!
It is VERY IMPORTANT to show the positive and active side such as smiling or laughing, standing with a loved one, or holding a sports item like a golf club or basketball, or engaged in a hobby, at work, at a baseball game ... you get the picture!!
Directions: Save a video clip with a digital cam. Use ONLY a format of 320x240. Say ONLY "An organ donor saved my life", or "An organ donor saved my life ... twice". The clip can be no longer than 3-4 seconds!!
Remember, by giving us the clip you are authorizing us to use on YouTube to send to the media, and Lord knows how big this can be. But by staring this in Ohio we can start the project for the entire U.S.!!
