Seven Pounds Urges

Will Smith proved he could be more than just a hottie on the big-screen. Only months ago, he sent a message so powerful it swept the nation and warmed the hearts of families everywhere. Through the movie “Seven Pounds”, Smith sent a powerful message about the importance of organ donation and the life changing effect it can have on the lives of those in critical need.
Sitting in the theatre I watched a man give his life for seven strangers. This gift of life restored hope and touched those not only acting in a movie but those mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters sitting around me in the small, dark movie theatre. I saw tears, smiles and a real connection to something deeper than just a plot in a movie. I realized to some, this message hit home on a whole other level. To them, this was more than just a weekend getaway movie with a cute actor. This was real life.
I think sometimes we forgot how precious living each day really is. Every day nearly 100,000 Americans suffer, hoping and praying that their day will come when they pick up the phone and hear the words, “we found you an organ donor.” You can make that possible. You can become an organ donor and make a positive impact on the lives of others like Will Smith’s character.
