Each year, Donate Life America selects a theme to illustrate the beauty that organ, eye and tissue donation holds for the donor family, the recipient and those still awaiting lifesaving organs and tissue. For the 2019 National Donate Life Month theme, Donate Life America was inspired by bicycles and the phrase, “Life is a beautiful ride.” Like the donation and transplantation journey, a bicycle serves as a symbol of progress, renewal and the moving circle of life.
