Heart Recipient Stephanie McCarthy is participating in the CT Blue & Green/5K this year in honor of her donor.
“I walk in honor of my organ donor, Alexander John 'AJ' Smullen. At the age of 14, AJ became a hero, my hero. My hope moving forward is to honor AJ by participating in as many life events as possible and give our heart many experiences together. May I continue to do many activities he loved!”
Thank you, Stephanie, for participating in the Blue & Green Walk in honor of AJ. #bluegreenwalk Alexander John “AJ” Smullen Memorial Foundation

Loren Osgood joined NEDS as an Organ Surgical Recovery Coordinator (OSRC) in 2024! Loren came to NEDS from working in an emergency room. Loren applied to NEDS looking for an organization where she felt valued and supported and after speaking with numerous people she felt NEDS was that place!
Loren’s favorite part about working at NEDS is that no day is the same. “This was a new environment for me and I did not know what to expect in the role, but the support from my manager and my team has made my time here at NEDS enjoyable. I also am happy I get to use my critical thinking skills and learn more about the human body in this role.”
Thank you, Loren, for all that you do as an OSRC! #MeaningfulWork
