Ereka Vetrini sits down with Judy Trew, founder of The Heather Trew Foundation for Organ Eye and Tissue Donation, to discuss the life-changing impact of becoming an organ donor. Judy started the foundation to honor her daughter Heather, who believed that anyone who needs an organ donation should be afforded that opportunity.

We also hear one family’s personal story of how their lives were changed forever thanks to organ donation.
