The Logan Boulet Effect

The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Manitoba Branch, promoted organ donation awareness by paying tribute to Logan Boulet at the Winnipeg Ice game WHL game against the Moose Jaw Warriors at the Wayne Fleming Arena. Boulet, a 21-year-old Humboldt Broncos hockey, player died following a bus crash that took the lives of 16 people on April 6, 2018. Logan’s parents honoured his wish to be an organ donor, saving the lives of six Canadians. At the March 7 event, the Kidney Foundation raised more than $5,000 to support those affected by kidney disease in our province through the sale of “Logan Boulet Effect, Organ Donation” bracelets and auctioning off game-worn Ice jerseys. Manitobans face the highest rate of kidney disease and the longest wait times in Canada for kidney transplants. For more information, visit kidney.ca. March is Kidney Health Month.
