But all that changed in 1992 when 16-year old David was struck by a car while crossing the street. Faith, Steve, and Kristy donated David's organs so that David would bring the miracle of life to others. Since then, Faith has become a very vocal donor family member. She speaks before groups and at conferences, is interviewed on TV and for newspaper articles. The family also started a scholarship fund in David's name last year that they hope to perpetuate.
Faith works full-time as an export specialist.
And as many of you are aware, TRIO member Jim Kane received David's heart and met Faith through the owner of their mutual health club. Jim has become Faith's inspiration. Catherine Kilcoyne is celebrating the 9th anniversary of her transplant, while Josephine Ferullo is celebrating the 7th anniversary of hers. Both received liver transplants at the Deaconess. The reason behind her move was, of course, the significantly shorter wait for a lung transplant.
