Because I think that a lot of times people don't necessarily see the connection and why it's so important for us to be talking about this topic.
You know, why are we good partners in talking about this particular topic?
That has been probably one of the biggest conversations that we've had in our community.
In fact, we recently honored a guy who lost his eyesight and his kidneys as a result of drinking soda pop and Kool-Aid.
And he was so moved by that experience and impacted by that experience, he actually created a water brand, which we take out to the community, which is called It's Just Water.
So I think that when we're talking about this particular topic, there are people that have been, the things that they have consumed are some of the things that are causing them to have the need for kidney.
So I just wanted to throw that in there because I think that it's so important to say that it is a big issue and it has something that we need to be talking about.
I want to ask a question now because I think this has really been great, a lot of great information.
But recently, there's been some real challenges when it comes to the conversation around organ and tissue donation.
And we recognize the importance of it, but we also recognize the challenges that happen when there is some misinformation, bad news, whatever.
So I know that you're regulated by the government.
And the government is always inspecting and checking those kinds of things.
And recently there was a inspection that was not so good with one of the organizations.
I mean, because I think that a lot of times people think like, you know, you just got a free hand, you just do whatever you want to do, but it's not like that.
And so, you know, you have, there's certain kind of, you have to be in compliance with some things.
But anyway, so we know that this is a tough topic.
