"Got Your Dot?" - A Letter from Kathy Schultz
"As I write this, 23 children await an organ transplant in Wisconsin. They are part of the almost 1,500 Wisconsinites waiting. Eighteen people in the U.S. will die today because they didn't get an organ in time. Every 13 minutes a new name is added to the national waitlist. That is two more people just in the time it takes to watch the news, or eat your lunch. For those who are more visual learners, picture this: we could fill every seat in Camp Randall Stadium and cover the entire field with the 98,000 people in the U.S. who are waiting for their gift of life."
