Photos: Linking Hands For Life

Held Saturday at The Peace Center, the day is an effort to remind others of the need for tissue, eye and organ donors.

A symbolic chain representing the cycle of life was formed at Saturday's Linking Hands for Llife.

Sponsored by Donate Life South Carolina and LifePoint, donors, recipients and those still waiting for organ donations joined hands for awareness.

Organ, tissue and eye donors are needed. According to LifePoint, every 10 minutes another person is added to the national transplant waiting list.
