CINCINNATI -- The death of high school football player Jovante Woods is raising awareness for organ donation.A spokesman for Woods' family said that Ickey Woods, former Bengal and Jovante's father, is proud of his son's decision to be a registered organ donor. Four lives were saved as a result of Woods' heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas.Kyle Parker never knew Woods, but feels a special kinship with him.Parker is 16 years old, the same age as Woods was when he died on Saturday of complications from an asthma attack.Parker was on dialysis because of a genetic kidney disorder. He was put on a donor waiting list last September. He received a new kidney six weeks ago and a new lease on life."I'm dancin' around the house more, for no reason. I eat a lot more and I'm more active than I was before," said Parker.Parker and his mother may never know the identity of the donor who saved his life, and they understand why."In our blessing, there was a loss. And you have to be sensitive to that, and I respect that for that family," said Temple Parker, Kyle's mother. "But if I could say anything to them, it is that … I am so thankful. I'm so appreciative every day.""They've given me the ability to look at my son and share something that I would not have," she continued.Every day, 18 people die waiting for an organ transplant and 108,000 people are on the waiting list.Woods' death and subsequent organ donation may encourage others to also become donors."We just want people to think about the impact that they could have to help someone when they're no longer here," said Andi Johnson, director of public affairs for LifeCenter Organ Donor Network.
