Mick lost his valiant 10 year battle with cancer on December 12, 2013. I was surprised that afternoon when I received a call from New England Donor Services asking if I was interested in fulfilling his wishes ato be an organ donor. I had thought cancer patients were ineligible. The kind woman on the phone said that corneas are not affected by cancer so Mick would still able to donate his. So of course I gratefully said yes, by all means. I was comforted to know that in Mick's passing he was able to give a blind person the gift of sight, as he would have wished.
