“Our son, Austin, was an organ, eye, and tissue donor in 2019. Through his donation, our family has been connected to some amazing people! To make this story even better, a memorial circle for Austin was placed in a park. The park ranger’s wife, Jen, was diagnosed with a rare liver disease which affects one in one million people and was put on the waiting list for a new liver at the same time Austin passed away. This past year, Jen received her new liver! We are walking/running in memory of Austin and the many gifts he gave others and for Jen, who is a recipient of a new liver. We all believe we were meant to know each other and now it’s our job to spread the word on the importance of ORGAN DONATION!”
