On International Women’s Day, we celebrate those special women in our community who make a difference each day. Today, lung transplant recipient Dawn Burke is living life to its fullest and has made it her personal mission to honor her donor and give back by raising awareness about the importance of registering as an organ and tissue donor.

Throughout the year, she personally delivers NJ Sharing Network posters, flyers, and table tents to dozens of local businesses and restaurants in and around her hometown of Keyport to spread the word about the gift she received in hope of inspiring and encouraging others on the transplant waiting list.

You can honor donors and help save lives too. Take a moment today to register as an organ and tissue donor at NJSharingNetwork.org/Register and share your decision with your friends and family.💙💚

“At the hospital, we learned that Sean wasn’t going to survive. We immediately made the decision that we wanted something good to come from losing him. Right then, we asked if Sean could be an organ and tissue donor.

One of the last things Sean ever wrote was, 'We all die. The goal is to create something that lives forever.' Sean lives forever through all of the people he helped.”

—Gail Clegg, mother of organ and tissue donor, Sean.

Actor and director Jesse Eisenberg, born and raised in East Brunswick, made a powerful, personal decision last year: he became a non-directed living kidney donor, giving to an anonymous patient next on the transplant list.

Speaking this week at the TIME100 Health Impact Dinner in New York City, he shared an important insight about altruistic donation:

“I never heard from anyone or read an interview with anybody who said they wrestled with the decision. … It was always: ‘I heard about it and signed up,’” he said. “Which makes me wonder if the problem isn’t convincing people to do this, but simply finding the people who already would.”

Right now, more than 90,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for a kidney transplant. One decision can change, and save, a life.

We’re proud to see a New Jersey native helping elevate this conversation and shine a light on the lifesaving impact of living donation. 💙💚

"Frank was a kind, generous, and principled man who dedicated his life to serving others. As a police officer in Elizabeth, New Jersey, he lived by the book but led with his heart.

When his son was just thirteen, he came to Frank and told him about three young boys living under a bridge. Without hesitation, Frank opened his home to them and raised those boys as his own. To this day, they credit him with saving their lives.

They still call him 'Dad,' and after his passing, they gave me the cherished title of 'Ma.'

Frank’s compassion reached far beyond our household. Over the years, he quietly mentored several young men, offering guidance, discipline, and a steady example of integrity and kindness. His influence continues to ripple through the lives he touched—a true testament to the man he was.

Frank will forever be remembered not only for his service, but for his enormous heart and unwavering belief in giving others a second chance." 💙💚

Those who knew Thomas Bycsek of Belmar, NJ, remember him as a devoted son, brother, and friend whose presence always brought comfort and joy. When Thomas passed away in 2019, his family honored his selfless nature through organ donation, a decision that saved four lives and continues to bring meaning to his memory.

“While our family is still heartbroken by Thomas’ untimely death, we all feel blessed to know that he gave the gift of life to others and his spirit will live on forever,” said his mother, Katie Bycsek.

A graduate of Manasquan High School, Thomas was especially close with his twin brother and best friend, Matthew. He was raised with the support of his maternal grandparents, Walter and Mary Bycsek, affectionately known as “Pop-Pop” and “Nanny.” Thomas had a passion for baseball, and he especially loved annual family vacations in Vermont. Whether fishing, exploring waterfalls, or entertaining everyone with stories around the campfire, he brought energy and laughter wherever he went.

John Levine of North Haledon, NJ, was a loving family man, a loyal friend, and someone whose actions reflected a deep care for others. He was a devoted husband to Jacqueline, his wife of 25 years, and a proud father to Jennifer and Jesse. He passed away unexpectedly at the age of 54 in September 2014. In his final act of compassion, John became an organ donor, giving the gift of life to others and leaving a legacy that continues to inspire.

John’s impact extends far beyond his lifetime. He donated both of his kidneys, one of which went to Helen Hunter of Middlesex Borough, NJ. She had lived with polycystic kidney disease for many years. His lifesaving gift freed her from dialysis and gave her many more happy, healthy years with her family. In a rare and emotional meeting, Helen and her family connected with John’s wife and children — a bond that has remained strong for more than a decade.

Since John’s passing, his family have become tireless advocates of NJ Sharing Network and the Sharing Network Foundation. They continue to honor John’s legacy by participating in NJSN’s signature programs and hosting events of their own to raise critical funds and awareness.
