My Story…
I'm participating in this fundraiser to support and raise awareness for living organ donation - something that's become very meaningful to me recently, after learning about Tyler Rosen's story. As a two-time organ donor himself, I've learned just how powerful and life-changing living donation can be. His experience opened my eyes to a world I didn't know much about before and it's made me want to support this cause.
It's also personal in another way, because a friend is currently navigating the unimaginable as her son Colby waits for a liver transplant, and yet a third person in my life is also waiting for a liver transplant to save her life.
Hearing about their journey's has deepened my understanding of how urgently organ donors are needed and how many lives hang in the balance.
I'm participating in honour of Tyler, Colby and C and for everyone waiting, donating, or supporting loved ones through this journey. Every step is for hope, awareness and the possibility of saving more lives through living organ donation.
I've set a fundraising goal of $500 and if you are able to donate - thank you so much, every contribution truly makes a difference. If donating isn't possible for you, simply sharing this page and message to help me spread the word would mean the world to me. Together, we can raise awareness and educate more people on how doable this is, and how much hope we can give to those families who need it most.
