Organ and tissue donation saves lives. By registering your intent using Manitoba's online organ and tissue donor registry www.signupforlife.ca information about your donation decision will be available and accessible should it ever be required. Since the launch of the registry in 2012, more than 65,000 Manitobans have registered and the number climbs every day. Nearly everyone has the potential to be an organ and tissue donor. One donor can save the life of eight people and enhance the quality of life for another 75 through the gift of tissue donation. Registration takes two minutes and three pieces of information; name, birthday and nine-digit health number. Between 2012 when the www.signupforlife.ca onine donor registry began and 2021, organ donations and transplantations increased by 23%, with 1,328 donations and 2,750 transplantations occurring in 2021. We as a group of grateful organ recipients, will continue in doing our part to spread organ and tissue donor awareness! HeartLinks wrapped up its first in person Annual AGM and Christmas get together in 2 years. Find out more details in our Events page. 2022 marked 10 years of online service for Manitoba's online organ and tissue donor registry www.signupforlife.ca To mark this milestone a goal was set to add 10,000 new registrations by the end of the year. Transplant Manitoba pushed hard to mark the 10K in 10 milestone however, COVID-19 affected registration traffic despite their best efforts. As of January 31, 2023, the registry holds the donation decisions of 64,618 Manitobans! Due to COVID-19 some events have been either cancelled or postponed. Please visit the events page for a complete list of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
