Do
your part to help save lives
Donate Life is the official race charity
of the SunTrust Richmond Marathon, working to increase organ,
eye and tissue donation in Virginia and across the United
States. Through educational efforts, Donate Life encourages
all Americans to say “yes” to donation and document
their decision to become a donor. Today you can make a difference
by signing up as an organ and tissue donor. If you are a
Virginia resident you can register to be a donor at www.save7lives.org
or at the DMV. If you live outside Virginia, please visit
www.donatelife.net
to find out how to sign up in your state. Together we can
help save lives.

more information on donation
Nearly 100,000 people are currently waiting for a life-saving
organ transplant. On average, 18 people die each day waiting
for a transplant that doesn’t come in time. Thousands
more await needed cornea or tissue transplants. One organ
donor can save 7 lives and one tissue donor can help more
than 50 people. Join us in saving lives by recording your
donation decision today. To learn more about organ and tissue
donation and how you can get involved at the local level,
