Description
Join us this Spring as we host our First Annual Bradley’s Honor Walk. This 2-mile walk-a-thon will start at 11am and will be both an in-person event at RSM Lake and virtual (for those who cannot attend in person). We are holding this event to honor Bradley and organ donors like him and to raise money to continue The Bradley Rofer Foundation’s mission of helping sick and injured children in our community.
APRIL IS DONATE LIFE MONTH
Observed in April each year, National Donate Life Month helps raise awareness about donation, encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.
About Bradley’s Honor Walk
I would like to tell you about Bradley’s Honor Walk. An Honor Walk takes place when a donor patient, who is on life support, is transferred from their hospital room to the operating room for transplant surgery.
On Sept 5, 2022, hundreds of nurses and doctors and hospital workers quietly lined up shoulder to shoulder along the hallways throughout Mission Hospital as Josette and I wheeled our baby boy from his room in the pediatric intensive care unit down to the operating room. We had a speaker on his bed playing Memories by Maroon 5. I was wearing my Bruins jersey and Josette was wearing her #19 baseball shirt as we cheered Bradley into heaven. Bradley was holding his favorite blanket that he slept with every night. As we walked by each one of the hospital workers, they had tears in their eyes as they honored our son with a hero’s goodbye, giving thanks and showing respect for the ultimate sacrifice he made to save and enhance the lives of many. As I looked them in their eyes, I saw and felt their pain for us, as they imagined what if this was their little boy or girl.
Bradley’s Honor Walk was the most powerful and meaningful thing I have ever experienced in my entire life. It provided Josette and I with an overabundance of peace and calm as we prepared for our boy to ascend to the Heavens. The calm and quiet display of loving support was incredibly moving and has touched our hearts for eternity.
