A Unique Group of Heart Transplant Recipients
Green Shirt Day- April 7th, 2021
April 7, 2021 marks the third annual Green Shirt Day. Logan Boulet’s parents, Toby & Bernadine Boulet launched GREEN SHIRT DAY in 2019 in honour of the “Logan Boulet Effect” and Organ Donation and Awareness.
The April 6th, 2018 bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team resulted in the loss of 16 lives, including Logan Boulet’s. Logan was a registered organ donor prior to the crash and once news of this selfless act became known, Canadians responded and began registering across the country in a wave of generosity never seen before. More than 100,000 Canadians registered and it became known as the #LoganBouletEffect. Having conversations about the gift of life is important. Logan had shared his decision to be a donor with his family and in honouring his wishes, six others received a second chance at life. If organ and tissue donation are important to you, talk with your family and register your decision using www.signupforlife.ca #GreenShirtDay #LoganBouletEffect #organdonation #TogetherStrong #BeInspired #signupforlife #beadonor #havethechat #shareyourwishes
