Facebook Reunion: giving the gift of tissue donation

Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation

After Brandon's stepfather Thomas died suddenly in a wood cutting accident, he generously chose to give the gift of tissue donation. Joey was the recipient of some of the tissue and it has allowed him to continue his baseball career. Through social networking, Brandon and Joey became friends and finally had the chance to meet in person for the first time in Dallas, TX.
