four lung transplant recipients and is

a registered NPO and PBO.

The founding members, Shaylene

Perry, Alice Vogt, Fawn Rogers and

transplant process, acknowledge

just how lucky they have been to

receive their life-saving transplants.

“Tell Your Family of your wishes to be an organ and tissue donor” FEEDBACK

Did this change your thoughts on organ donation? Yes. I was not informed about organ donation and thus I was against it. How often in the field do you identify a possible organ donor? Often. Do you know the steps in place should you identify a potential organ donor? Now I know. I didn’t know prior to presentation.
