Would you share your organ donor stories or status by uploading a video clip on VideoDonor? People share what there making for dinner, where there going on vacation and every moment of it, there embarrassing Vegas photos, family connections, marital status and religion on social networks and when people say share a post to raise awareness about cancer, most people update your facebook status.
