Austin Carter passed away due to a tragic accident in 2008. His parents, together with his sibling, made a decision which impacted the lives of many others - to allow Austin to become an organ and tissue donor. Lori Lyons received one of Austin's kidneys, and later, Lori met Austin's family. They have forged a relationship and together they keep Austin's memory alive, and share the miracle of life that happens thanks to organ and tissue donation.
am four years post liver transplant and understandably an advocate for organ donation. Thank you for posting this video, you are doing a great thing. Please take the time to view my video on YouTube as well. It is titled Organ Donation Serge Vaillancourt. Have a long healthy life, and to those of you waiting for an organ. There is hope. Even though statistics are not the greatest you can be, as I was one of the many fortunate one. Never give up hope.
