Since losing her daughter to a car accident in May of 1993, Peace River resident Maria Stranaghan has been advocating to raise awareness for organ donations.
Her daughter, Tasha Stranaghan, made it clear prior to her death that, in the event of a tragedy, she wanted to donate as much of her body as possible in order to help those who may need an organ or tissue transplant.
Now, nearly twenty years later, Maria Stranaghan is ready to embark on another challenge that will not only raise awareness for organ and tissue donations, but possibly get her and those who wish to be involved into the Guinness Book of World Records.
"My grandson Riley and I were sitting around this summer and we thought it would be neat to start an awareness campaign that would get into the Guinness Book of World Records," she explained.
The goal: to create the world's longest ribbon – a record currently held by Germany, who made a ribbon seven kilometres long.
