4th Green Shirt Day sparks awareness around organ donation
“Probably one of the biggest things we tried to talk about is just having that conversation because registering is one thing, but if your family doesn’t know about that and that you want to be an organ donor, they are in that kind of situation where they have to make that decision,” said Bernadine Boulet. “That’s just one more thing that they have to make a decision about at a time that’s very tragic, in a very difficult time.
Dr. Faisal Siddiqui, a physician for Transplant Manitoba, told 680 CJOB more than 60,000 Manitobans are registered donors.“As part of the Green Shirt Day across Canada, the goal is for this year by the end of 2022 to have another 100,000 people sign up at their provincial registry,” he said. “And for Manitoba, specifically, another 10,000 new registrations.”Vancouver joins other B.C.
“We’re so proud of Logan for the decisions that he made to become an organ donor,” he said. “I told him 2017, ‘Nobody will want your organs when you’re 85.’ But he looked at me and said, ‘No, I want to be an organ donor. I’m going to be a donor.'”© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
