(WTXL) - An organization says 10 million Floridians have signed up to donate organs and tissues through its donor registry.

Donate Life Florida says Florida's registry is the third largest in the nation.

Ninety-five percent of the state's donors have come through the state's tax collectors and Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles.

Officials say more donors are needed, with close to 115,000 people on the national organ transplant waiting list.
