This #SupporterSunday, we're celebrating Eric Douglin! He's the star of our Christmas appeal – and for good reason. Christmas 2021, Eric found himself in the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. His bowel had ruptured due to diverticulitis, a challenging bowel condition. Matters got serious when this led to sepsis, a life-threatening illness. Before Eric knew it, he was having emergency bowel surgery and waking up with a stoma - a change he didn't get a chance to ready himself for. Eric's worked tirelessly for Bowel Research UK. He's joined our #auguts campaigns, spread awareness for chronic bowel disease whilst raising funds with the World Club Basketball Tournament, and written blogs for our website, sharing his personal experiences and knowledge on diverticulitis and stomas. Thank you, Eric! This December, we encourage you to hear Eric's story and help us by donating to Bowel Research UK. Every donation, big or small, supports research that could find new treatments and maybe even cures for bowel cancer and bowel diseases.

What is the process for organ donation? More than 100,000 men, women, and children in the United States, including more than 10,000 in Texas, need an organ transplant to live. In 2023, more than 46,000 organ transplants were performed in the United States, more than in any previous year. Most people assume that they know all the facts about organ donations, but why not get the correct information? For 50 years, Southwest Transplant Alliance has proudly served heroic donors, their courageous families, and our community.

How amazing is the power of umbilical cord blood??! Umbilical cord blood is a beautiful source of blood stem cells that can be collected at the time of birth with no risk to the mom or baby. This blood can then be processed and stored for use as a stem cell donor for patients needing a bone marrow transplant. It is especially important for those patients who can not identify a suitably matched related or unrelated donor because it offers access to a life-saving bone marrow transplant when the patient needs it most. Access to cord blood donors helps make sure that today, there is a blood stem cell donor for nearly everyone who needs one! #donorforall #cordblood #cordbloodtransplant

Today is National Donor Day. Today we celebrate the lives of those who were and are donors and the honorable cause they are giving to. Cancer patients and those suffering from other diseases need donations every day. Donors have a tremendous impact on the lives of those in need of donations as well as their families. There are five different types of donations: Tissue, Blood, Marrow, Organs, and Platelets. Take action: consider registering for a matching system to be paired with someone in need of a donation. Talk to your family about organ donation. Consider taking some time out of your day to donate blood. There are many ways to make an impact as a donor and the lives of many will be greatly impacted by one single donation. Make an impact in countless lives today by being a donor! #VieCure #NationalDonorDay
