Mitchell's Story

Mitchell Brennan's wish was to be a paramedic. He was a normal teenager that loved to do normal things. Mitchell died when his ute ran off the road during a storm and hit a tree, he was only 18 years old. When his life was cut tragically short 2010, he lost the opportunity to have his dream job, but he still saved the lives of four people.

Mitchell's heart, lungs, liver, left and right kidney and pancreas were all donated. His family's decision to donate his organs was extremely hard, but gives them comfort every day knowing that Mitchell's organs saved the lives of others.
