He decided to do something about that, and has since worked with politicians, celebrities, non-profits, to encourage individuals to become registered organ donors. Tim explains, “My goal is to make Temecula the example for the state and the nation by having everyone in our city become registered organ donors. There is no reason that 100,000 people in our country need to die from a problem that is solvable.” Information: (866) 653-8696.
