Today, as we raised the Donate Life Florida flag, we paused to honor the incredible gift of organ, eye, and tissue donation — a gift that turns loss into life.💚
We had the honor of hearing the story of Erik Rushford, a member of our Okaloosa County community, whose legacy lives on in 143 people. 143 families forever changed. 143 second chances.💙

Also recognized was one of our Lead House Supervisors, Laura Mears, for receiving an Innovation Award from LifeNet Health — a testament to her unwavering commitment to ensuring others have the chance at life.⭐️
Today, we remember, we honor, and we carry these stories forward — because every life touched is a legacy that will never fade.💚💙
