Bob Wade

Bob learned the importance of organ donation the hard way…

For the Wade family, the tragedy of losing their son Robbie was softened by his decision to become an organ donor in the event of early, unexpected death. At his memorial service, as they measured the depths of their disorientation and despair, they were buoyed by knowing that as they mourned, others celebrated the gift of their loved one’s new chance at living by receiving one of Robbie’s critical organs.

As time went by, they learned that many, many more lives were changed in the weeks and months following his death by the use of his bone and tissue donation. This is the legacy of Robbie’s foresight and why Bob works on the CKF board to carry this message forward.
