Ten-year-old Tony Charron loved to read, ride his bike and listen to his Walkman. On October 13, 1997, Pamela Charron was driving her children home from school when their car was struck by a truck. Tony did not survive the accident.

When his parents decided to donate his organs and eyes, they helped bring hope to four other families in need. As a volunteer Donate Life Ambassador, Pamela has kept her son’s memory alive while inspiring others to give the gift of life.
