Dear Editor:

While reading your article regarding the 5K to support organ donation I was deeply moved. So often we read articles concerning the things our generation is not doing well enough or not caring about.

Reading Taryn Mason's personal story about how her father donated a kidney to her brother was touching. The added story of the Don Coreleone's employee on dialysis also hit home because it made me realize that we really don't know what everyone is going through.

Being in college, I can say for myself that a lot of times I can be very selfish. I am more concerned with my weekend plans or how I did on my last test than worrying about what I personally can do to help better the lives of those around me. With Taryn's story and what she is doing for the community, I can see that she is selflessly trying to aid others.

Taryn's story has made me rethink what is important in life and made me realize that just one person, even a college student at Georgia Southern, can do something to make a difference.

Sincerely,
Alli Brenner
