Katherine and her mother Nancy were honoured by the
Coalition on Donation
on June 13th, where they received the prestigious Dr.
James S. Wolf Courage Award.
This award, named after the
Coalition on Donation founder, is
presented annually to an individual or individuals, outside the
professional transplantation and donation community, who played
a significant role in helping to educate the public about organ,
eye and tissue donation.
The
Coalition on Donation is a not-for-profit alliance of national
organizations and local coalitions across the United States
dedicated to inspiring all people to donate life through organ
and tissue donation. The Coalition’s efforts focus on the
life-saving aspects of donation and encourage people to take
action now to ensure their donation wishes are carried out
later.
Both Katherine and Nancy work
tirelessly to raise awareness of organ, eye and tissue
donation. Organ and tissue donation is a subject very close
to their hearts as Katherine's brother Jason was a donor.
The event took place at the Century plaza Hotel, in Los
Angeles, California. To read a copy of Nancy's speech please
