It was almost a year ago when Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died after falling off of a moving truck. He was arguing with his fiancée when she drove away and he hopped on the vehicle to try and reason with her. He stumbled out of the back of the truck, hit his head and died of massive brain trauma in a Charlotte, North Carolina hospital.
When doctors told Henry's mother, Carolyn Glaspy, that her son didn't survive the accident, she decided to have his organs donated.
"Chris was a giver," Glaspy told the L.A. Times. "If he knew he could help someone, he would have said yes."
Glaspy donated both of Henry's kidneys, his lungs, his liver, pancreas, his heart and his corneas. Earlier this month, Glaspy met four of the people whose lives were saved thanks to the organ donation, James Benton (liver), Brian Polk (kidney), Tom Elliott (lungs) and Donna Arnold (kidney, pancreas).
16-Nov-10 - Forty-five years after he was killed by an Alabama State Trooper, Jimmie Lee Jackson, whose death lead to the first civil rights march on Selma, he is finally getting a small measure of justice.
12-Nov-10 - In a case better suited for Judge Mathis, Paula Cook is proceeding with her civil suit against Fantasia Barrino for an antiquated legal cause of action called "Alienation of Affection" in a North Carolina court.
This was a beautiful story I remember seeing the news report when he died. I'm glad his mother made a tough decision. I want to someday become an organ donor.
He was a wonderful person because his mother is truly loving and wonderful. Not sure if I could have made those sacrifice in that situation. This kind of story needs to be front page instead of the junk offered to us as news. Humanity and love needs to be stressed rather than strife. Lots of Love to his mother, family and memory.
That had to have been a very difficult decision to donate all of her sons organs, even the cornea of his eyes. She must have a great humanitarian spirit. I don't think I could have done that. Very touching story.
Chris Henry's mother saved lives from the grave this is what I wish humans would see and stop all of this Black /White What would you do for a second chance at life or would you die being a hater?
