The family joined the annual A Special Place ceremony which CORE holds to honor donor families and pay respect to and reflect on the lives of donors and the lives they saved and healed. Participants hear stories from donor families who wish to honor the legacy of donors and from recipients who share how organ donation has touched their lives.
“How can something so amazing like giving life – giving someone another chance – be ignored?” Brian asked at the ceremony as his wife and Arya, who turns 2 this September, joined him onstage. “Now we know that there are 100,000 families across the nation just like us that are waiting for their superhero, too.”
It’s important to recognize the need for lifesaving organ transplants. We encourage you to talk with your loved ones about donation and make sure that you share your wish to save and heal lives through donation one day.
