Elk Point, AB: The 2nd Chance Trail Ride Society, well-known as strong advocates for organ and tissue donation recently posted a banner at the Morinville Curling Club as part of their signage campaign.
“The timing couldn’t be better to share this message; Christmas is the perfect time to talk to your family about your intent to donate and to register your wishes.” said Founder, Morris Irvine, a double-lung transplant recipient.
The 2nd Chance Trail Ride Society is committed to increasing awareness about organ and tissue donation as well as build a strong community to support transplant recipients and their families who are going through their journey. One of their objectives is to bring awareness through signage throughout rural Alberta’s curling rinks, arenas, and equestrian arenas. Currently, their message can be seen in the Riviere Qui Barre Hockey Arena and Mind’s Eye Equestrian Facility.
The Morinville Curling Club has opened an awareness section in their sponsorship showcase, and it was the perfect opportunity for 2nd Chance Trail Ride Society to keep spreading the word that organ donation works.
“Some of my family members have been curling at the Morinville Curling Club for 25 years, so it makes it even more special for us to have our sign displayed there.” said Irvine.
