The first Honor Walk at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany was held on December 22, 2018. The Honor Walk is a way for hospital staff and others to show support for an organ donor and the donor's family during an unbelievably difficult time. During the walk, staff, family and friends line the hallway from the ICU to the operating room in silent tribute. This walk honored organ donor, Margaret (Meg) Cahill of Albany, and her family. For more on Meg's story: news.sphp.com/news/honor-walk-...

In August 1973 my cousin was in a car accident in rural Colorado. He and his wife were airlifted to a hospital in Denver. He suffered severe head injuries, his parents consented to organ donation. He was 22. His wife and baby daughter survived. He would be a great grandfather now.

Why 'thumbs down' a video like this? To deny how beautiful it is to witness such a gift has to mean you are without life yourself 😞

I do believe some people can’t see the beauty in the death. Kind a like you ask a question why should someone have to die in order for someone else to live. That’s just my teeth.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother and he was a donor too. They told our family that someone got their sight the next morning..Brian I know loved that..We are all donors. Brian alway said "Why not. He would be in Heaven so why not give a lot of people the answer to their prayers "....He is my Hero and so is every donor. ..I am sending all of you a ton of love and prayers from me in New Orleans...

This is such a dignified and respectful ceremony. Hard to find that lovely combination anywhere these days but the Honor Walk is a noble exception. Thank you, Meg, for thinking of others even before yourself. Your husband was also supportive of your selfless act. I hope may persons are mended with the parts you bequeathed them.

This is an amazing selfless act. What find odd is that she never was a donor before then checked to be one on renewal of her license and had a major cardio episode. I wonder the time there after it happened? Money.drives alot of.people and organs could cost one alot of money. My prayers to the family.

In the U.K, there is nothing on our driving licence for organ donation. If there was, I would hope there was an opt out box too. I have opted out of organ donation, because I give blood, and that's all they're getting from me!

@random_research_uk158 4 жыл бұрын

E.J. if you have not opted out of organ donation direct online on the organ doner register then you are considered opted in.

@@random_research_uk158 As far as I know, I have opted out of organ donation. However, I do give blood, so I'm not totally selfish am I?☺

Artic......you do realise your organs are a gift from God.He created you in your mother's womb....I do trust you would reconsider donating your organs........my husband had a kidney transplant from a donar who signed all his organs to be transplanted on his death.......we are eternally grateful for this young man's decision.

It's sad you feel that way. You don't benefit from keeping them
