Week challenges Americans to become organ, tissue donors D\/ AKirvDETA AKI - .. .. -.11. I. , . a . ...a BY ANDREA BROCKMAN The Battalion Four years ago, a Brazos Valley man passed away. It was tragic for his family members, but they agreed to donate his organs. As a result, the tragedy brought a mira cle to seven people — the miracle of life. One of the organ recipients, Steve Brunson, a supervisory staff accountant and CPA in the Texas A&M Fiscal Department, endured a life-saving, double-lung trans plant. Brunson said a perfect match for an organ usually happens once every four or five months. "My heart had stopped beating twice that week, so I probably wouldn’t have made it another four or five months,” he said. "If that man hadn't signed up to be an or gan donor, I would be dead. I owe him and his family my life.” The National Kidney Founda tion says 60,000 Americans are awaiting transplants of life-saving organs, and each month 2,000 more patients are added to the waiting list. Ten to 11 people die see Donors on Page 12. Students, facultyi ments were recogniz for their effortstopre ty on campus at the: Awards Ceremony.
