In 2015 Nathan Gremmo was critically injured in an accident at age 13. His family chose to donate his organs to honour Nathan’s generous personality. Through Nathan’s legacy, his family established ‘Jersey Day’ in 2016 to provide ongoing awareness of the DonateLife network.
NextGen began their support for Jersey Day in 2018 after learning of staff with family members who had received the gift of life through organ donation. On this special day each year, our staff leave their corporate attire at home and wear their favourite sports jersey to work! Most importantly, the day reminds us to have a conversation with friends and family about organ and tissue donation – whether to know their donation decision or encourage others to join the Australian Organ Donor Register.
