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.
