Founders & Fortitude: Conversations with Audrie Dollins
Honoring Life Through Organ Donation: A Conversation with LifeGift
Episode Description
In this special episode of Founders & Fortitude, I sit down with Barbara VerWey, Community Engagement Specialist at LifeGift, to explore the incredible and life-saving gift of organ donation. I share the deeply personal story of my father’s unexpected passing and how LifeGift provided unwavering guidance through every step of the process.
LifeGift ensured that details we never could have anticipated were handled with care, allowing us to focus on honoring my father’s legacy. One of the most touching moments was the Honor Walk, where nurses, doctors, and staff lined the halls as he was taken into surgery for organ retrieval. While we waited, other families were preparing to receive the gift of life—an act of generosity that continues to inspire us.
This episode is an opportunity to break the myths surrounding organ donation and encourage important conversations with your loved ones. Our dad was always our superhero, but through his legacy, he became a real one to others. We are incredibly proud to honor him in this way.
Listen now and join us in starting the conversation to save lives.
