Be a Hero

[cynthia Hunter]

My son was murdered on sept 13th of 94 but on the day of his death he became a Hero! About two weeks before his murder we where (his sisters) all watching a show on Organ Donors.We all got into a discussion on Organ donation all my children decided that if anything ever happened to them that they would want to be donors.After all they wouldnt need them ( it was their joke). They thought it was a great idea to save a family the pain of losing someone you loved.

Little did we know that in a couple of weeks my son would become a donor.Because of his wishes a Father in Texas got a new heart* a police dective got a new liver *Two people got a kidney* some one with cancer got bone marrow*a burn victim got a skin graft*someone else got eyesight.

My son Aaron Dwight Cameron became a Hero not only to those families but even more to me. Because of him families where sheding tears of joy instead of tears of sorrow!

Think about becoming a Hero it is simple let your family know of your wishes and sign your donor cards!

Thank you, Cynthia, for sharing this story about your son - has truly is a hero. My family is a strongly supports organ donation. This was very generous of your son and you for sharing it with us.

The memory you have of your son is truly inspiring. I hope this moves people to sign those donor cards. My whole family has signed donor cards and we've also done the blood testing thing. We're on a national list for bone marrow transplants, etc. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to save a life? Your son not only saved 1 life, but he saved numerous lives. A hero in anyone's eyes.

I think that's great your son was able to give life to so many.

And yet I have a problem - it rests with data mining.
