PATRICK MARKS 1 YEAR SINCE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
Patrick Moroso (seated) marks the first anniversary of his transplant with (L-R) brother Matthew and his girlfriend Olivia Pappianni, step-dad Palmer Stewart, girlfriend Kali Edmunds and mom Donna Stewart.
Apprentice Patrick Moroso celebrated the first anniversary of his kidney transplant with his family and friends in Sudbury recently. In early 2024, Patrick had faced the prospect of having to give up on his dream of being an Operator as kidney failure had left him desperately ill. However, a donor was found for him and he underwent a transplant operation in the spring. Just eight weeks later, Patrick was back on the job for Teranorth and looking forward to the future. As he continues to build his career, Patrick’s mother, Donna
Stewart, has taken up the fight to increase the number of organ donors in Ontario in an effort to save more lives. She urges those who have not already registered as a donor to do so by visiting the Ontario Health (Trillium Gift of Life Network) website at beadonor.ca. You can also help change the way donors are registered from an opt-in system to an opt-out one by signing an online petition organized by Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas at francegelinas.ca
