More than 4000 Canadians await a lifesaving organ transplant. Each year hundreds of Canadians die waiting. 90 per cent of Canadians say they support organ donation, yet only 32 per cent have registered their decision.
Thanks to the generosity of an organ donor and their family, Dylan received a life-saving heart transplant. In September of 2021, after a long and challenging recovery, Dylan stepped back onto the court in his last year of high school at Ridley College to pursue his dream of obtaining a Division 1 scholarship and becoming the first player ever to do so with a donated heart. In 2022, the cameras returned to follow Dylan at university and as he comes to terms with a new life as a transplant recipient. We are grateful to Dylan and his family for sharing their journey and for recognizing the great need for raising awareness about the powerful impact of organ donation and encouraging families to learn about and talk about this life-saving gift.
