“His organs went to other people that needed them. That’s one part of his legacy – that he’s gone on to help those organ recipients and their families. I’m so proud of Jack.” 

These are the heartfelt words of Bonnie Power, whose 10-year-old son Jack died from a catastrophic brain injury after a road accident in 2018.

In the second episode of Let’s Talk Organ and Tissue Donation, podcast host Michael Billings speaks to Bonnie about the heart-breaking death of her beloved son Jack. “It’s the sort of thing you see on the six-o’clock news and you never think it’s going to happen to you,” she says.

In this episode, Bonnie talks about the day that would change her life forever; having to digest that Jack may not survive; and coming to the realisation that Jack would have wanted to help others by donating his organs.
