The UFO’s landed at Shriners Hospital today, and no we don’t mean flying space ships. The team is called the “Unicycling for Organs.” The group performed a half hour show for children being treated at the Hospital.
The purpose of the UFO’s is to help raise awareness of the need for organ donation, with an emphasis on living kidney donations.
“The idea we're trying to get across is everybody can live with one kidney just fine. You can get around on one wheel just fine. And so we thought up the idea of the Unicyclists for Organs...something kind of catchy and unique,” said Alex McDonald with Intermountain Donor Services.
If you haven’t already signed up to be an organ and tissue donor, you can log on to http://www.yesutah.org to register and learn how easy it is to help others.
