Chantal Brommer made the courageous choice to be an organ donor after learning that she had ALS. Her family honored that decision and Chantal saved three lives with the donation of her heart and kidneys.

“The first thing they [Chantal’s recipients] say is, ‘I’m going to take care of these for her,’” says, Nick, her husband.

Washington’s donor heroes saved 930 lives last year — the most in LifeCenter Northwest’s 28-year history. 💚💙

This is a compelling read about a fascinating man whose near-death experience as a child inspired him to "serve God by saving lives."

While Dr. Callender is retired from the operating room, he continues to serve his community and save lives by championing .

Happy Lunar New Year!

As we welcome the year of the horse, we celebrate renewal, hope and the promise of brighter days ahead.

Those same values are at the heart of organ donation. Every registered donor offers something extraordinary — a second chance, a fresh start and more time with the people who matter most.

Donor hero, Nikki Leep, from Three Forks, Mont., died in 2024 at the age of 47 from a brain aneurysm. It was her wish to become an organ donor.

Her family was initially hesitant about donation because of the time it takes to match donated organs to waiting recipients, which can sometimes prolong goodbyes. But last year during the week of Thanksgiving, they met Nikki’s liver recipient, a 61-year-old man named Randy Searer. The connection was immediate.

"I mean, it was like we've known each other forever," Randy said in an interview. "I mean, wonderful, wonderful family."

Randy is a rancher and an auctioneer in Montana. Nikki was a dairy farmer who loved animals and riding horseback. Her family found comfort in the fact that Randy shared many of the same interests.

The family now says that Nikki's donation was a blessing and hope their story will encourage others to consider registering themselves as organ donors.

In the midst of unimaginable grief, Spencer Durbin’s family held onto a decision he had made in life — to register as an organ donor.

“He always stood up for the underdogs,” his father, Robert, shared. “He’s still giving, even though he’s not here with us.”

Through organ donation, Spencer saved four lives and improved many more through tissue donation. His parents now carry that legacy forward through the Spencer Durbin Legacy Foundation, promoting organ donation awareness and overdose prevention.

Tomorrow at Washington’s Capitol, a Donate Life Month resolution will be read ahead of April — honoring donors like Spencer and the lives they continue to save.

Spencer is loved. Spencer is a hero. 💙💚
