Jersey Day for Organ and Tissue Donation

Friday August 30, 2024 is Jersey Day. Have a conversation with your loved ones about becoming an Organ and Tissue Donor.

In May 2015 the Gremmo family’s life changed forever when their eldest child, Nathan, was critically injured in an accident at age 13.

Nathan’s family chose to give the gift of life to others to honour Nathan’s generous personality. This amazing gift saved the lives of six people – including five young adults and a baby. Hours prior to his accident, Nathan wrote on his Instagram account, “You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough”.

Wise beyond his years, he definitely was an extraordinary young man. Nathan is described by his father Michael, mother Kylie and sisters Ashley and Annaliese as “a boy with a unique sense of humour, a love for animals and an insatiable energy for life.”

Through Nathan’s legacy, the Gremmo family has established Jersey Day. Each Jersey Day they ask everybody to wear a Jersey to school or work, and most importantly have a conversation with their friends and family about Organ and Tissue Donation.
