Welcome to the LEGACY OF LIFE Website
Through the legacy of donation...
- a child can recover from painful and disfiguring burns
- vision can be improved or restored
- defective heart valves can be replaced
- a person can walk without a limp
- a woman can heal faster from reconstructive plastic surgery
after a mastectomy
and hundreds of other life-changing and saving situations where
people in need are generously given the hope of a better life.
Did you know?
One donor can touch the lives of over 100
recipients. Becoming a donor is perhaps the most gracious
thing a person can do in life to ensure their generosity continues
after their passing.
Legacy of Life is accredited and in good standing with the American
Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and is in compliance with
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations which govern
tissue banking.

The donation legacy...
A young mother is diagnosed with breast cancer
and undergoes radical mastectomy surgery. Her
plastic surgeon uses skin tissues from a donor
in her reconstructive surgery helping this woman
heal not only physically, but emotionally as well. |

The donation legacy...
A child survives a massive car wreck, but emerges
with painful and disfiguring burns. This young
boy's long road to recovery is aided significantly
through the free assistance from a Shriner's Burn
Hospital for Children and the skin tissues generously
provided by donors. |

The donation legacy…
A 63 year old grandmother is diagnosed with severe
peripheral vascular disease, which threatens the
continued use of her leg. Faced with amputation,
this woman chose the implantation of a saphenous
vein from a donor. The resulting successful surgery
gave this woman the opportunity for an active
life for many years to come. |
