Commending Mr. Christopher Charles Davis; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Mr. Christopher Charles Davis has committed an inspiring and courageous act of compassion in becoming the kidney donor for his fellow Georgian, Mr. Stony McGill; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Davis, a resident of Marietta, Georgia, is united in love and marriage to his generous and kind wife, Susan B. Davis; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Davis met Mr. McGill in 1999, and seven years later he learned of Mr. McGill's kidney disease which left him with only 20 percent kidney function; and

WHEREAS, upon his learning of Mr. McGill's condition, Mr. Davis immediately volunteered to help and tests determined that he was nearly a perfect match and a candidate for the transplant; and

WHEREAS, on July 1, 2007, Mr. Davis and Mr. McGill underwent kidney transplant surgery, providing Mr. McGill with a priceless gift; and

WHEREAS, each year in Georgia, approximately 300 kidney transplants are performed, but there are more than 1,500 people on the waiting list and the list keeps growing; and

WHEREAS, March 12, 2009, marks the 4th annual World Kidney Day in recognition of the worldwide significance of kidney disease as a public health problem; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Davis's selfless action has saved the life of another human being and has brought honor to his family, his community, and the State of Georgia.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body join in recognizing the amazing courage of Mr. Christopher Charles Davis, commending his extraordinary compassion in volunteering as a kidney donor, and extending to his family their sincerest best wishes for the future.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Mr. Christopher Charles Davis.
