Man Rides Across The Region For Organ Donation

Now that summer is here, more and more people are either biking or running across the country for a cause.
Cayse Ruiter cycled into Kenora yesterday as part of his Outlive yourself campaign to raise awareness about organ donation.
Ruiter says only about 20% of Canadians are considered organ donors.
However, he says it’s now easier then ever to register and folks can do so by visiting www.beadonor.ca.
Over 4,000 Canadians are on the waiting list for an organ transplant, and over 400 Canadians are dying every year due to a lack of organs available.
