There were lots of runners out Sunday morning, including some raising awareness about one of the most impactful donations: The Gift of Life. Thousands of Donor Dash runners raised awareness about the power of organ and tissue donations.
“To really showcase transplantation that works,” Richard Hasz, the CEO of Gift of Life, said.
This year, donor recipient Brian Rath is celebrating his 10 year anniversary of receiving a liver transplant.
“I was told if I made it past five years, then my life could be a normal life expectancy,” Rath said. “I’ve made it past five years now.”
If you weren’t running, you were walking.
“I’m a proud donor mom,” Dawn Ortiz said.
