About The GR8 To DON8 8K Run for Organ Donation

The GR8 To DON8 8K Run for Organ Donation is a Running race in Longwood, Florida consisting of a Kids Run/Fun Run and 5K and 8K.

The GR8 to DON8 8k & 5k Run for Organ Donation was founded by Dr. Jeff Sadowsky, a local physician who shares passion for and understands the importance of organ and tissue donation.

One organ donor can save up to eight lives (hence the 8K Run for Organ Donation) while tissue donation can improve the quality of life for dozens more. Last year, nearly 28,000 lives were saved due to the generosity of organ donors. Today, more than 100,000 children and adults await that precious gift. Hundreds of thousands more patiently wait for the gift of tissue donation.
