Tyrese Haliburton Spotlights Organ Donation with Peyton Manning Children's Hospital
Tyrese Haliburton has partnered with Indiana Donor Network and Donate Life Indiana to highlight the need for lifesaving organs. He and his wife, Jade, recently visited organ transplant recipients at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.
“Meeting the kids today has shown me the very real side of this: that organ donation saves lives,” Tyrese said. More than 1,200 people are currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant here in Indiana, and just one organ donor can save up to eight lives.
