Healing hundreds from one body

Colorado Springs Relocation Services

“Ambitious, selfless, and giving” are the words Brig. Gen. Richard Clark, Commandant of Cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy, used to describe Cadet First Class Marc Henning.

Tears, tissues, friends and family filled a room at the Donor Alliance Recovery Center in Denver.

A special ceremony was held on Thursday morning bringing together two families across hundreds of miles for the first time – The Hennings and the Logans – who are eternally bonded through the gift of life from organ donation.

The partnership was made possible through the Donor Alliance specifically, the Military Sharing Program.
