Justin Bieber responds Organ Donation Campaign
Justin Bieber has answered the call to help a 20-year-old Canadian woman’s campaign to raise awareness of organ donation.
Justin responded to a Twitter campaign started by Helene Campbell to encourage people to register their consent for organ donation by retweeting one of her tweets, making it visible to the Biebs twitter followers.
“Hey @justinbieber! I BELIEB you should use that Canadian voice of yours and help save lives like mine,” Helene wrote, adding the hashtags #beanorgandonor and #giveblood, as well as the beadonor.ca website address.
Justin Bieber is currently in California recording an album, added three messages of his own via twitter at about 3 a.m. EST Saturday and urged his fans:
“i got the word …. You have amazing strength. I got u,”“help spread the word for @alungstory alungstory.ca #BeAnOrganDonor, and NEVER SAY NEVER”
Helene Campbell learned in July that she suffers idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In October, her lung capacity was measured at just 24 per cent, and she was told then that she would need a lung transplant. The average wait time for lungs in Ontario is between six and 24 months.
