Green Shirt Day: what organ donation means for those who receive a transplant

This Saturday marks one year since the crash that involved the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.

Logan Boulet was one of the players who died in the crash. Before his death, the 21-year-old decided to become an organ donor.  Six organ recipients benefited from that decision.

April 7th will mark the inaugural Green Shirt Day. It’s a national movement that seeks to inspire Canadians to talk to their families and register as organ donors. It also intends to honour, remember and recognize all the victims and families of the tragic crash.

We wanted to have that conversation on the air now - and we wanted to talk about what organ donation means for those who receive a transplant.

Before we came on-air I spoke with Bet Tuason. He received a kidney transplant last year, and he told us what one person’s decision to become an organ donor has changed his life.
