"Because" - The Story of an Organ Donor
At 21, Amanda Gedraitis, was the youngest non-direct living kidney donor. Now a college student at Illinois State University, this video highlights Amanda's own personal explanation of why she decided to help save another person's life.
Why? Because, organ donation is the right thing to do.
