April is "National Donate Life Month" so if you are not a registered donor yet, now would be a good time to sign up. Organ donation begins with an individual making the decision to be a life-saving donor.

Texans can register their decision at www.DonateLifeTexas.org or when they receive or renew their Driver License or renew their registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles. If a patient who is a potential donor is not registered, his or her Next-of-Kin will have to make that decision at an already difficult time.

Joining Rebecca Thomas in the FOX 7 Austin studio to discuss the myths and facts around organ donation is Michelle Segovia from the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance and Kristin Lester, a donor recipient. To learn more about he Texas Organ Sharing Alliance, click here.
