Manage episode 436575494 series 3595700
When tragedy struck Ana and Martin DeGrossi with the loss of their son Diego, they faced a decision that would transform their pain into hope for others. Our latest episode welcomes these courageous parents who share their journey through grief and the poignant legacy left by their son. After Diego's life was tragically cut short by a drowning accident, Anna and Martin chose to donate his organs, a selfless act that rippled into a lifesaving miracle for individuals in dire need. Their story isn't just about the sorrow of loss but also about finding a profound purpose in the darkest of times.
The DeGrossi's speak to the heart as they recount the creation of the "Diego Superhero 5 K Run & Walk" foundation, an organization that not only commemorates their son but also fosters awareness and support for organ donation. Through their annual 5K event, they've built a community of solidarity, touching the lives of many who face similar experiences. As our conversation unfolds, Anna and Martin reveal the emotional layers of their journey and the importance of discussing the often-unspoken aspects of grief. #organdonation #diego5k #Ilovepalmbeach
