cricketer Gautam Gambhir, leading by example, has pledged to donate his organs and also promised to speak and encourage other Indian cricketers to follow suit.
He took the pledge here on Thursday after launching ‘Gift a Life' initiative – a website supported by the Apollo Transplant Institutes
To encourage people to take a pledge for donating organs to save countless lives in the process.
The cricketer also inaugurated the website www.giftalife.org, a one stop destination for all questions about organ donation where the general public can also pledge to donate their organs. He also signed a ‘travelling wall' that will be taken around schools and colleges encouraging students to take the pledge.
The mission ‘Gift a Life' is an endeavour to ensure that no person in India dies for want of an organ.
This public awareness initiative aims to bring together information and awareness on the issue of organ donation.
