It's a remarkable feeling to have 80,000 runners going by you and offering their support of organ donations. I probably haven't run now in over a year, but I look forward to the day that I can go out for my two to three mile job everyday. The physicians involved in the donation process will need his permission to donate her organs. Just the closest family members. It depends on the specific hospital.
Some hospitals are better than others about approaching families regarding donations.
Dean, can you give us some tips for getting ready for the Bay 2 Breakers. My first bit of advice would be to make sure you have a good pair of shoes. If you haven't been running much in the past, I would recommend investing in a good pair of running shoes. Next would be to begin your running regime, and I would recommend from 25 to 30 miles per week to begin with. You want to start off fairly slow, and build up as the event gets nearer.
