Leaders in Transplantation Unite for Mediaplanet’s “Transplants” Campaign
(PRWEB) April 27, 2016 -- Educating the public on organ transplantation is more vital today than ever before. Twenty-two Americans die every day waiting for an organ. Success in transplantation relies on a partnership between multiple medical branches, as well as the support of the everyday people that donate organs. Research to evolve past industry limitations is ongoing, but a constant truth remains: the more we choose to donate, the more lives we save. This campaign discusses and celebrates the different collaborations that make transplantation possible.
Tayt Andersen, 10-year-old heart transplant recipient, graces the cover of the print publication. In an exclusive interview with Mediaplanet, he and his mother Chrissy share their experience waiting for years on the transplant list and becoming an internet sensation while fighting for his life.
“These kids are dying and we don’t know how long Tayt would have lasted without the transplant,” Chrissy Andersen says, encouraging families to choose organ donation—a choice that saved her sons life. Tayt and Chrissy sum up the significance of the choice to donate in one simple statement: “One selfless act can save at least 25 children.”
The print component of “Transplants” is distributed within the Wednesday, April 27 circulation of the Chicago Tribune, with a circulation of approximately 445,929 copies and an estimated readership of 1.3 million. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.
