New National Donor Memorial Web Site Launched

A new National Donor Memorial Web site has been launched at www.donormemorial.org where organ and tissue donor families, transplant recipients and others can honor a loved one who donated life.

The web site, created by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), features a "Tributes" section where visitors can either view tributes to organ donors or create new ones.

Visitors who wish to honor an organ donor can create memorial pages that tell that person's "story." Tributes can include words; scanned photos or other images that commemorate the organ donor's life; and his or her passions, favorite places or cherished events.

UNOS, which manages the nation's organ transplant network, said it has created the site as a virtual component of the National Donor Memorial garden being built at its new headquarters in Richmond, VA.
