Stephen & Jack's Story + About Lifebanc

Our Story

We're inviting you to join us for a morning walk to remember and honor our deeply missed and forever cherished Stephen and Jack, and to celebrate the gift of life made possible by organ, eye, and tissue donation.

We lost Stephen in 2020 and Jack in 2023. Though would give anything to still have them with us, they live on through the gift of organ donation. Many individuals are now able to live a happier, healthier, richer life because of their gifts. During this walk, we remember Stephen and Jack, as well as their many recipients, who have now collectively received - a heart, lungs, a liver, kidneys, bone and tissue (390 individual recipients), and corneas. The gift of a beating heart, healthy lungs, an able body, and the gift of sight are invaluable. All of this is possible through Lifebanc and honorable donors. 

Join us on August 23 to remember Stephen, Jack, and all those who have given the gift of life. Thank you!
