Jason was born in 1971 with a heart condition known as “transposition of the great vessels”.

The way it was described to him was that when he was young he was a “Blue Baby”. This is where blood flow is essentially reversed; meaning that instead of having that pinkish hue that most babies have; Jason was the colour of the clear blue sky on a sunny day.

By the time Jason was 18 he had endured 6 open-heart surgeries to correct the problem. Then in 1993, when Jason was a young man of 22, he received the gift of life, a new heart from another young man who had thankfully talked to his family about donating his organs.

That was 13 years ago. Since that time, Jason is a walking miracle experiencing a fulfilling life that he could never have imagined possible before his transplant when he was so young.

Please choose to become an organ donor and remember to speak to your family about your choice. Help turn a tragic circumstance of life into a miracle.
