We had the pleasure of speaking to the Hixson Kiwanis Club about the lifesaving impact of organ and tissue donation this week!

After sharing donation facts and addressing misconceptions, we even learned that several members knew someone who had received a lifesaving transplant!

Donate Life Ambassador and Donor Mother Robin Burton then shared the story of her son Blake. It's been 27 years since Blake's death, but Robin continues to talk about the selfless legacy he left as a donor hero.

Thank you to the Hixson Kiwanis Club for having us and helping us spread the word about donation! 💙💚

Donor Heroes make the selfless decision to leave a lasting legacy, bringing hope and healing to those waiting for lifesaving transplants every day.

Vanderbilt Health and Tennessee Donor Services are honored to celebrate their heroic legacies during National Donate Life Month.

Vanderbilt Donor Tribute: Cobyn Johnson

"Cobyn left this world to be with the Lord at the age of 16 with his parents by his side. He was brilliant, hilarious and his love language was teasing. His younger siblings, Audrey and Wesley, adored him. He was an extraordinary guitarist and loved a variety of music. He loved to thrift shop, drive his car and watch musicals. Cobyn was a confirmed Catholic and attended regular Mass. Our hearts are always with him."
