Four years ago, a car accident left Logan Mott unable to walk or talk. Earlier this month, he went into cardiac arrest, and his family was given heartbreaking news. They would likely be saying goodbye to their son for the last time.

Though it was an unimaginable loss, they find beauty in the precious gifts he was able to give through donation and proud to honor his decision to check the box when he turned 16.

“…as he was brought from his room to the operating room at Regions hospital to donate his heart and liver to two waiting organ recipients, about 150 family members, friends and hospital workers lined the hallway in a silent show of respect for Logan's selfless gift of life.”

Honor Walks provide families of organ donors, as well as the medical care teams, the opportunity to honor the generosity of the donor for sharing the gifts of life. Learn more here! https://www.life-source.org/partners/hospitals/honor-walk-resources/

Thank you so much to Fox 9 for sharing his story and helping raise awareness for organ donation.

It also gave us the opportunity to address the urgent need for organ transplants in multiethnic communities. Thank you so much for those who attended, it was a big success!

…and did we mention there was music? The Selby Avenue Brass Band helped us kick off the event.

Gratitude goes far beyond saying "thank you". It is a deep sense of appreciation for all of the good things in life - big or small! This mindset allows us to be present in the moment and acknowledge all of the blessings in our lives. It's easy to get caught up in negativity, so practicing gratitude can be a great way to improve overall wellbeing.

Lisa recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of her double lung transplant and shared a beautiful tribute expressing gratitude for her donor, Jasmine, who she continues to honor every day.

"Today marks 10 years since my double lung transplant — a milestone made possible only through the incredible kindness and generosity of my donor, Jasmine.

Every breath I take is a reminder of her selfless gift and the life she gave me. I am forever grateful and strive each day to honor her memory by living with purpose.

Every breath is a blessing. 10 years of breathing deeply, and carrying Jasmine's spirit in all I do. I will never stop being grateful."
