His mother, Janine Magree said prior to Bryn’s death, he had opted to donate his organs and tissues, so that many people could either be given a second chance or experience an improved quality of life.
“His selflessness saved lives and you can too,” said Janine.
She urged people to help them honour his precious memory by signing up as a donor at www.hero777.co.za.
