More than 50 walkers turned out in pouring rain to promote organ donation. The walk started and finished at Toronto General Hospital.
Participants were from all across the organ transplant spectrum. I spoke with heart recipients, liver recipients, lung recipients and kidney recipients. Some brought their children and a few pushed baby carriages for the entire 5km walk. Many support persons, family and friends of recipients & pre-transplant patients came in spite of the weather. "How could we not show up?", said the wife of a lung transplant recipient.
