THIS Sunday, November 17 is DonateLife Thank You Day, a national day to acknowledge the generosity of organ and tissue donors, which hits home for Hamilton’s Mitton family who in 2019 received a life-saving liver transplant for their son, Max.

Each year, thousands of lives are saved and transformed through the generosity of deceased and living organ and tissue donors, and their families.
