‘You get hope’: Green Shirt Day designer talks about her own organ transplant journey

Green Shirt Day is about building awareness around organ donor registration, and is in honour of the Logan Boulet Effect.

Global News sat down with Brandy Hehn, a multimedia designer who designed the new Green Shirt Day design, but who also has a much closer connection to the day.“At the beginning of 2009, they were like, ‘OK, if you don’t get [a liver] by summer, that’s kind of your timeframe.’ That’s almost easier for me to process, and not that arbitrary date, or not knowing if I’m going to get sick and get pulled off the [donation] list,” Hehn said, comparing her experience waiting for a liver to her experience waiting for a kidney.
