(WFRV)-- Recently, Channel 5's Erin Davisson was a guest speaker at an organ donation awareness event at Denmark High School.
Among the speakers, was a father who has lost his daughter and decided to donate her organs to help others.
Steve Ferkau, a double lung transplant recipient from Chicago recalls his trip to Denmark, which led him to an amazing experience, meeting two people who helped shape the life of his 17-year-old donor, Kari.
"They have a teacher up here, and my donor Kari use to be one of his students. I got to meet people who helped shape her life. It's an incredible honor for me to do something like that," say Ferkau.
Ferkau stated that in the year before she died, Kari had talked about the importance of organ donation, and he hopes that students at Denmark High School take that to heart.
