The Ultimate Gift

The Compass
Spaniard's Bay couple has good reason to promote organ donation

A first-time visitor the the home of Robert and Bernice Lundrigan of Spaniard's Bay are likely to be attracted to the boat in the backyard, and even moreso to the unique name on the vessel - Second Chance.

The letter "C" in Chance is formed in the shape of a kidney, and there's a green ribbon to the side, with the slogan "Organ Donation Saves Lives."

You'll understand all this when you read their story.

But in a nutshell, Bernice donated one of her kidneys to Robert in April 2009. It was an experience that changed their lives in a positive way, and they've dedicated much of their time ever since to promoting organ donation.
