The Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life website teams with other charities in an all-out campaign to register 20 million organ donors in 2012.
Organ donation is the gift of life that keeps on giving, and the gift that truly goes around the world.
The Ultimate Gift of Life
Outside
Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa stands “the giving tree,”
placed there for the first time this year, according to KTIV, in remembrance of those who have given the ultimate gift of life through organ donation.
There
will undoubtedly be many people in need of such a gift this
Christmas. And the entertainment industry is proving to be quite a
powerful tool in making the giving of this gift possible.
20 Million in 2012
Donate Life America, and National Chair Tenaya Wallace, stand at the threshold of the new year with a national, year-long campaign to register "20 Million in 2012." But at least one actor's fans are not waiting until next year.
The
Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life website
headed by Sabine
Atkins, has begun a Christmas greeting campaign for O'Loughlin to
acknowledge his fans' support of his platform with Donate Life as
well as to raise awareness of organ donation.
Ribbons for Organ Donation
Through
January 1, fans of O'Loughlin (who stars in Hawaii Five-0) are asked
to purchase ribbons for one of two organ donation foundations,
Taylor's Gift and Zaidee's Rainbow, and to then submit a photograph
wearing those ribbons. (O'Loughlin is Spokesperson for Taylor's Gift).
Atkins hopes this will be the start of a huge voice on the listening end of potential organ donation registrants.
Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life
Atkins
became interested in organ donation about 10 years ago, while still
living in Germany. Already an O'Loughlin fan since his Moonlight
days in 2007, she continued to support him through his role as
transplant surgeon Dr. Andy Yablonski in Three Rivers. When
O'Loughlin trained to become an Ambassador for Donate Life
Hollywood, Atkins branched out from her German fan club membership to
create the Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life website and support
him in this cause.
Campaign Plans
Through
her website, Atkins has been able to effectively spread the word
worldwide about organ donation. And, though her exact plans for the
Donate Life "20 Million in 2012" campaign are still in the
brainstorming stage, it is certain that she will be collaborating with
Austrailian counterpart/co-administrator and social media expert
Claire Eyles.
Atkins
will also be working with Rock Scar Love Designs founder and liver
transplant recipient, Amy Tippins, along with the creators of the
Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation.
Rock Scar Love Designs and Zaidee's Rainbow
Rock
Scar Love Designs and Zaidee's Rainbow represent opposite ends of the
spectrum with their messages about organ donation. While Rock Scar
reaches out to transplant recipients with the message that they
don't have to be ashamed or embarrassed by their scars, Zaidee's
Rainbow offers hope to families and patients through the gift of
organ donation.
Zaidee's
Rainbow is an Austrailian organization in memory of seven year-old
Zaidee, who passed away at the tender age of seven. Through her
passing, she was able to save seven lives through organ and tissue
donation. The mission of Zaidee's Rainbow, as posted at
is simple: "After every storm, the sun shines,
and there is a rainbow. For those people on the transplant waiting
list, the rainbow symbol offers them hope."
A Voice Heard Around the World
This
is the hope of Atkins' Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life that is
heard around the world, from America to Germany to Australia and
beyond. And, hopefully, it is the beginning of a successful campaign to
reach "20 Million in 2012."
Atkins
recognizes that sometimes it is difficult for charities to
effectively get the word out regarding their organization and is happy
that the enthusiastic fans of O'Loughlin can join together and
support him, and the cause, in this way. She is also thankful for
O'Loughlin's participation in the efforts of the Alex O'Loughlin Fans
for Donate Life.
Thank you Sabine and Cheryl Hollar
Fans von einem Hawaii Five-0 Darsteller geben Donate Life " 20 Millionen in 2012"
Die Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life Website tut sich mit anderen Hilfsorganisationen in einer Kampagne zusammen, die 2012 20 Millionen Organspender registriert haben will.
20 Millionen in 2012
Donate Life America und National chair Tenaya Wallace, stehen an der Schwelle des neuen Jahres mit einer nationalen über das Jahr andauernden Kampagne, "20 Millionen 2012" zu registrieren. Aber mindestens die Fans eines Schauspielers waren nicht bis nächstes Jahr.
Die Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life Website, geführt von Sabine Atkins, hat eine Weihnachtsgruß Kampagne für Alex O'Loughlin begonnen, um die Untersützung seiner Fans für donate Life zu honorieren und ebenso Aufmerksamkeit für Organspende zu erregen.
Bis zum 1. Januar sind die Fans von O'Loughlin gebeten, Bänder für eine der zwei Organspende Organisationen, Taylor's Gift und Zaidee's Rainbow, zu kaufen und dann ein Foto hochzuladen, auf dem diese Bänder getragen werden. (O'Loughlin ist Sprecher für Taylor's Gift).
Atkins begann sich vor zehn Jahren für Organspende zu interessiere, während sie noch in Deutschland lebte. Bereits ein O'Loughlin Fans, seit er bei Moonlight mitgespielt hat, unterstützte sie ihn weiterhin während seiner Rolle als Transplantationschirurg Dr. Andy Yablonski in three Rivers. Als O'Loughlin ein Sprecher für Donate Life Hollywood wurde, nutzte Atkins ihre Mitgliedschaft in dem Deutschen Fanclub und erstellte die Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life Website um ihn und die Sache zu unterstützen.
Mit ihrer Website konnte Atkinss effektiv die Bekanntheit von Organtransplantation vorantreiben. Und, obwohl ihre Pläne für die Donate Life " 20 Million in 2012" Kampagne noch immer weiterbearbeitet werden müssen, ist es sicher, dass sie mit der Australischen Co-Administratorin und social media Expertin Claire Eyles zusammenarbeiten wird.
Atkins wird auch mit Rock Scar Love Designs Gründerin und Lebertransplantantempfängerin Amy Tippins arbeiten, gemeinsam mit den Erfindern von Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation.
Atkins versteht, dass es teilweise schwer für Hilsorganisationen ist, effektiv ihre Organisation bekannt zu machen und ist froh, dass die enthusiastischen Fans von O'Loughlin mitmachen und ihn unterstützen können, und in diesem Fall auch die Sache. Sie ist sehr dankbar für O'Loughlins Teilnahme an den Bemühungen der Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life.
