Our Mission is Simple

Change the conversation from medical to love so that donations increase and more people are given a chance at additional years of love and life. We know it’s a serious topic, but we believe it can also be light. Our tee-shirt designs support that.

Our Motivator is Massive!

We experienced the gift firsthand, and it mattered. (A lot!)

Peter von Uchtrup was strong, fun-loving, in love, and full of life. When he was in his late 30s, a virus entered his body and destroyed his heart. His only chance of survival was a transplant.

Help Us Spread the Word

Wear it and share it. We have shirts for registered donors, those on the waitlist, and recipients. Merchants and hospital employees, use our Contact Us page to learn how to carry these in your stores and gift shops.

Display our rack cards at your location. We have 56 displays—one for each year of Pete’s life—and will promote every merchant who says yes.

Spread the word. We’ve even made it easier by designing a Social Media ad you can download and share.

As a living donor, you may be able to donate:

One kidney: Your remaining kidney removes waste from the body.
Segment of the liver: Remaining liver cells grow or refresh until your liver is almost its original size.
One lobe of the lung, part of the pancreas, or part of the intestine
While these organs don’t regrow, the portion you donate and the remaining portion can function fully.

The decision to donate does not interfere with medical care. Medical teams do everything in their power to save a person. Only after death is donation discussed.

Myth: An open-casket funeral isn’t an option for people who have donated organs or tissues.

Fact: Organ and tissue donation doesn’t interfere with having an open-casket funeral. The donor’s body is clothed for burial and treated with care and respect, so there are no visible signs of organ or tissue donation.
