WELCOME TO THE CYCLE FOR ORGAN DONATION WEBSITE!
Cycle for Organ Donation (CFOD) was founded in 2010 to help raise awareness and promote the need for organ donation. Summer 2010 marked the Inaugural CFOD Bike Ride which began in Washington state and ended in Madison, Wisconsin at the 2010 National Kidney Foundation U.S. Transplant Games.
We ride to raise awareness, to honor all donors, all donor families, and all recipients and to dispel myths about organ donation and to let everyone know there is LIFE AFTER TRANSPLANT.
We know firsthand there is no greater gift than the gift of life. Due to the lack of available donors, 4,573 kidney patients, 1,506 liver patients, 371 heart patients, and 234 lung patients died in 2008 while waiting for life-saving organ transplants.
ORGAN DONATION SAVES LIVES - One person has the ability to save the lives of up to EIGHT people and to enhance the lives of up to FIFTY.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - BE A HERO AND DONATE FOR SOMEONE!
SIGN UP TODAY TO BECOME A DONOR. For more information on becoming a donor, please visit our Resources page.
We are grateful for your support and hope you join us on our journey.....
