Hélène Campbell to run in Toronto for organ donation event

City News Toronto | Erin Criger
Double lung transplant recipient Hélène Campbell will run to Queen’s Park on Tuesday to raise awareness for organ donation.

The Toronto portion of the Torch of Life relay began at 9:30 a.m. and will pass by city hall and Toronto General Hospital before finishing around 1 p.m.

The relay has already hit 71 Ontario towns over 110 days.

Over the past eight years, the Torch of Life campaign hoped to raise awareness about organ donation. This year, the goal is to encourage Canadians to become donors by registering online.

Khaled Khatib, 20, will take the torch to Nathan Phillips Square as he finishes the 110-day marathon around Ontario.
