Dear Editor: I was truly amazed to see such overwhelming community support for the NJ Sharing Network Foundation’s 2nd annual Share NJ 5K Walk/Run on June 10. Thousands flooded the streets of New Providence that day, including donor families and transplant recipients, to remember those who gave, honor those who received and offer hope to those who continue to wait for the “gift of life.” Blue skies and warm weather provided an ideal backdrop for every walker, runner, civic group and corporate partner that joined us that day.

Alyssa D’Addio lost her father, Joe, to a brain hemorrhage a few years ago. He was sitting at the kitchen table one day, held his head, and told his wife that he was losing it. D’Addio’s mother called an ambulance, and when they arrived at the hospital, she was given a grim diagnosis – he had 24 hours left, and she had to say goodbye to her dad. But instead of losing him totally, D’Addio and her family decided to donate her father’s organs to help others in need. “In a way, it’s like keeping a piece of him here,” she said. “We knew this is what he wanted.” The D’Addio family turned to the NJ Sharing Network in New Providence to aid in the organ donations – and after support from them during her father’s death, D’Addio has turned and …
