Coun. Chuck Puchmayr
Chuck Puchmayr let a small gift say a lot of big thank yous on behalf of organ transplant patients across B.C.
The New Westminster city councillor was on hand with other transplant recipients on Monday to deliver cans of popcorn at Royal Columbian Hospital as tokens of appreciation for health-care professionals during Operation Popcorn.
“The tins of popcorn are a small gift and a gigantic ‘thank you’ on behalf of all transplant recipients in our province,” said Puchmayr.
Puchmayr’s is one of 28 teams visiting hospitals across B.C. to say thank you to the nurses, doctors and other health-care professionals who make organ donations happen.
Similar visits will take place this week in hospitals from New Westminster and Burnaby to Prince George and Trail. This is the 22nd annual operation to say thanks for the gift of life.
The event is a thank you to all the health-care workers who not only perform transplant operations but also deal with the grief and stress associated with the organ donor process.
A visit from the Operation Popcorn team allows the staff to see the people whose lives are saved through organ donation.
