Gift of Life Donor Medal
The Gift of Life Donor Medal was created as a remembrance for those who helped improve the lives of others through an organ, eye or tissue donation.
The Medal's designer, Kathyrn Kochanowski of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, described the inspiration and meaning of the design:
The Gift of Life Donor touches and gives life to others. The donor touches the hand of the recipient, and passes on the precious gift of life (the heart) and love (the rose). This magnificent and honorable giving of oneself is illustrated in the rays extending from the heart.
