Fans Gear Up in Support of Alex O’Loughlin, “Three Rivers” and Organ Donation
Posted by mizzoH on Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Alex O’Loughlin’s announcement in the spring of this year about wanting to endorse a non-profit organization promoting organ donation has recently led to his ambassadorship for
The newly official organ, eye and tissue donor recently blogged, “I now have the chance to give the gift of life, which I believe is the greatest gift of all.”
Alex will be pleased to hear that his hopes that fans will lend their support the way they did in his Moonlight days are starting to bear fruit!
The
Fans of Three Rivers Organ Donor Campaign was introduced in August and is aimed at assisting the transplant community in every way possible.
More recently, Silke R. and Sabine Atkins got together to craft and launch a campaign on behalf of the
German Alex O’Loughlin Fan Club to help raise awareness and funds for FÜRS LEBEN. FÜR ORGANSPENDE, an initiative of the Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation. For details on how to support this campaign, please visit the
fan club. Information is available in both German and English and details are also provided for Swiss and Austrian organ donation organizations.
Sabine has also started the
Alex O’Loughlin Fans for Donate Life America blog to help raise awareness for the organ donation cause and to support Alex’s related activities.
If you have a WordPress or Blogger blog or are active on social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace, please sign up for a
SocialVibe account
and place the Three Rivers on CBS artwork application on your profile or blog (see the example below). The more views you get, the more SocialVibe and Three Rivers on CBS will donate to Donate Life.
Step Up and Make a Difference
Despite the fact that there are now close to 80 million registered donors in the USA, the need still greatly outnumbers the organs and tissue available. More than 100,000 life-saving organ transplants are required, and on average, 18 people die each day because there is no organ available.
One single organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people.
One single tissue donor can save/enhance the lives of up to fifty people.
Anyone of us can be a potential donor. Many of us support donation, but too few of us take the essential steps to become a donor.
Please help spread the word and take action!

Alex O'Loughlin's Ankündigung dieses Frühjahr, dass er eine gemeinnützige Organisation für Organspende unterstützen will, hat inzwischen zu einer Botschafterstelle bei Donate Life America geführt.
Der neue offizielle Organ, Augen und Gewebespender hat neulich geblogged:" Jetzt habe ich die Möglichkeit, das Geschenk des Lebens zu geben, von dem ich glaube, dass es das beste von allen ist."
Alex wird sich freuen zu hören, dass seine Hoffnung, dass Fans ihre Unterstützung genauso einsetzen, wie sie es in Moonlight Tagen getan haben, beginnt Früchte zu tragen.
Die Fans der Three Rivers Organ Donor Campaign wurde im August ins Leben gerufen und will der Transplantationsgemeinschaft in jedmöglichen Weg helfen.
Als neuestes haben Silke R. und Sabine Atkins zusammengeholfen und eine Kampagne im Namen des
German Alex O’Loughlin Fan Club gestartet, um Bewusstsein und Geld für FÜRS LEBEN. FÜR ORGANSPENDE, eine Initiative für die Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation, zu spenden. Für Details, wie man diese Kampagne unterstützen kann, schaut euch bitte den FC an. Die Informationen sind in deutsch und englisch und Details sind auch für die Schweiz und Österreich mit ihren Organspendeorganisationen zu finden.
Sabine hat den
Alex O’Loughlin Fans for Donate Life America
Blog ins Leben gerufen, um Bewusstsein für Organspendeaktionen zu erwecken und Alex Aktivitäten zu unterstützen. Wenn du einen WordPress oder Blogger Blog hast, oder auf irgendwelchen Netzwerken aktiv bist wie Facebook oder MySpace, bitte melde dich für einenSocialVibe account
an und stelle die Three Rivers on CBS artwork application in dein Profil oder Blog (siehe Beispiel unten). Je mehr views du bekommst, desto mehr werden SocialVibe und Three Rivers on CBS für Donate Life spenden.
Steh auf und verändere etwas
Obwohl inzwischen fast 80 Millionen registrierte Spender in Amerika sind, übertrifft der Bedarf die nutzbaren Organe und Gewebe. Mehr als 100.000 lebensrettende Transplantationen werden gebraucht und im Schnitt sterben 18 Menschen am Tag, weil kein Organ bereit ist. Ein einzelner Organspender kann bis zu acht Leben retten.
Ein einzelner Gewebespender kann bis zu fünfzig Menschen das Leben retten/erleichtern.
Jeder von uns kann potentieller Spender sein.
Viele von uns untersützen Spende, aber viel zu wenige nehmen die entscheidenden Schritte auf sich und werden Spender.
Bitte helft mit, das zu verbreiten und tretet in Aktion!
Alex O’Loughlin Completes Donate Life Ambassador Training On Set
Posted by

Alex O’Loughlin completed his Donate Life America ambassador training on the set of Three Rivers last week! He was not alone, as 20 members of the show’s cast and crew also followed the training. This from
Glenn Matsuki, who additionally reports that starting with episode three, Alex will be wearing his Donate Life pin on Three Rivers. DSO, the organizer of the World Day/European Day of Organ Donation that took place in Berlin on October 4th, have let Silke Roehl of the German Alex O’Loughin Fan Club know that Alex’s video statement was well received at the International Organ Donation Congress, where it was shown on October 5th. Here’s a translation of the DSO message provided by Alex O’Loughlin Fans for Donate Life America:
Dear Ms. R,
The Organ Donation Congress was a big success. Through the international exchange of scientific news and opinions on the different aspects of organ donation, the people working in the field of transplantation were able to achieve a big step toward more organ donations.
This is very important, as waiting lists increase worldwide and thus the hopelessness for many patients about receiving matching donor organs. In the US alone wait about 110,000 patients for a life saving transplantation. In Germany it’s about 12,000 patients. In this regard, Alex O’Loughlin’s statement on organ donation was extremely important. The more people in the public limelight show that they support this important cause, the more people we can reach with our message. The statement was heard with great joy and answered with a big applause.
But it’s not just about celebrities. Everyone of us can make a difference. Because everyone of us has the chance to give the gift of life to someone else if we die. This is why we are very glad about your fan club’s campaign which convinced already several members to support this cause. Should you require more information material, we will gladly send it to you. For further information, I have enclosed the press release about the Organ Donation Congress, as well as a form for obtaining our brochures.
Sincerely,
Christine Gehringer
