In a recent segment for PIKE Radio in Worcester, local resident Tammy Farley shares why she participates in New England Donor Services annual Massachusetts Blue & Green Walk/5K.

This is Tammy's sixth consecutive year participating in the walk to raise awareness for the life-saving importance of organ and tissue donation. Tammy walks in memory of her daughter, Erica, who saved lives through organ donation.

Erica was very passionate about this cause, registering as an organ donor when she first got her license and encouraging others to do the same. Tammy, alongside family and close friends, will walk in memory of Erica this Saturday, September 19th at Polar Park in Worcester.
