We’re so proud of our spokesperson, Valen Cover Keefer, who has been all over California, sporting blue and green in honor of Donate Life month, sharing her story and spreading the word about organ donation. As one of Donate Life’s “12 Inspiring Women of the 20 million in 2012″ campaign, Valen participated in a celebrity photo shoot in Beverly Hills, organized by Ann Lopez, who donated a kidney to her former husband, comedian George Lopez, in 2005.

Valen’s adventures have taken her from news and radio interviews in Sacramento to a special celebration in Truckee, California, which leads the state in organ donation sign-ups at the DMV.
