Many thanks to Carol Craig, who organized the warmup, Peter Williams, Metro Val Caron, Toppers Pizza, Tim Hortons in Lively, Greater Sudbury Police, Northern Life, Sudbury Star and Science North.

Thank you to all those who assisted with the computers. This made our online registration very convenient.

Thanks to Dr. Nalla, who outlined the importance of organ donors and to the organ recipients who told us their stories. We are proud that Greater Sudbury has one of the highest rates of registered organ donor members in Ontario.

Don’t take your organs to Heaven. Heaven knows we need them here.
