Facebook to Save Lives

Social networking is becoming ever more popular.  It's used to make new friends, to find employment, to recommend favorite restaurants and movies, and to stay connected.  Companies like Facebook have taken this phenomenon and capitalized on natural human instinct.



But Facebook has transformed social networking yet again.  This time, it's to save lives!  Billionaire co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has introduced Facebook's new initiative as a way to help those needing organ transplants receive what they so desperately need.  No, they don't "facebook" or tweet, "Does anyone have a lung I can use for a while?"  But rather it's to raise awareness.  It's to share experiences.  It's to bring hope to those who search for donors, and gratitude to those who have donated to save a life.



18 people a day die while waiting for a transplant.  Facebook allows the global community to fight that number.
Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg and the selfless and innovative staff at Facebook!
