Let’s play ball
A GENTLE GIANT
“Darrell was a tall, gentle giant,” says donor wife, Michelle Yoon. Darrell Boito loved to fix things, including cars, and shared special moments with their young daughter when she tagged along. He enjoyed watching baseball—his favorite team was the Arizona Diamondbacks—and family outings to the zoo and park.
Embodying Darrell’s sport’s fan spirit, Michelle with Elizabeth, their daughter, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at this year’s Donate Life Day at the Arizona Diamondbacks game Aug. 10!
In June 2023, Darrell passed away after a brain aneurysm. He was able to donate his liver, heart, kidneys and corneas to save and heal other people. His passing left the family devastated, but they are thankful for the last Father’s Day weekend they spent together.
The family also finds comfort in knowing that their loved one helped others after his passing. Michelle can picture Darrell saying, “That’s pretty cool!” if he could see how many lives he saved and healed.
“If you are able to help through donation, please don’t hesitate and register to be a donor!” Michelle says.
LET’S PLAY BALL!

THROWBACK TO THROWING THE FIRST PITCH: UNITING TWO (TRANSPLANTED) HEARTS
Last year, heart recipient Claire Filson stood on the mound to throw the ceremonial first pitch.
“I think she said yes!” the announcer shouted over the speakers. When Filson turned back to face her then-boyfriend next to the pitcher’s mound after the first toss, he was posted on bended knee hoping she’d accept his proposal, and consequently a shiny diamond ring.
Ian Troiani, Filson’s fiancé, also received a heart transplant. In fact, the two met in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in an online group for heart recipients to build connections in an era of social distancing.
“I never thought I would have the chance to date someone who understands innately what I’ve been through. It’s pretty special,” Filson said just minutes before Troiani popped the question in front of thousands of baseball fans.
“I’m just glad she said yes,” Troiani says, recalling how challenging it was to keep his surprise a secret.
DID SOMEONE SAY, “FREE T-SHIRTS"?

Love is love. Organs are organs.
AN INTENTIONAL DECISION
Adison Leigh Rayburn deeply understood the power of sharing life.
“She actually registered to be a donor twice!” her parents, Rob and Shannon Rayburn, say. She passed away after an asthma attack in 2023. Through her decision to register as an organ and tissue donor, she saved the lives of three and offered other gifts for research.
“She was one of the brightest, most curious kids,” says Shannon.
Her parents think she would be elated to learn that her decision saved the lives of others.
They describe her decision to register as a donor as “deliberate” and “intentional.” The Rayburns say the donation process has had a profound impact on themselves as well.
“It has helped to know that not all of our daughter is gone,” Shannon says.
Adison, an animal lover, lived with her girlfriend of five years and two cats before her passing. Her family described her as bright, curious, and unapologetically herself. Adison’s final act was a selfless decision that transformed the lives of many.
BREAKING MISCONCEPTIONS
One of the largest misconceptions about donation is that members of the LGBTQ+ community cannot register as an organ and tissue donor or receive a transplant. This is FALSE.
THE FACTS
Organ donation is regulated differently than other types of donation. LGBTQ+ or not, the eligibility of organ donors is regulated by Health and Human Services. Sexual orientation is neither a factor when determining someone’s suitability to donate or to get listed as a waiting list patient.
HIV and hepatitis C infections, while not exclusive to the LGBTQ+ community, no longer prevent the possibility of organ donation thanks to the HOPE Act of 2015. This act called for research into transplants between HIV-positive donors into HIV positive recipients. This process has since saved hundreds of lives. Learn more here.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates cornea and other tissue donation. Certain medical and lifestyle exclusion criteria may deny members from some avenues of donation, but medical professionals make those determinations after someone has passed. Regardless, anyone’s donation registration is valid.
Sexual orientation and gender identity or expression are never considered during on the side of transplantation, either. People on the waiting list are matched with available organs based on many factors, including blood type, body size, how sick they are, donor distance, tissue type and time on the waiting list by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO REGISTER
Julissa Rose Garcia, a talented softball player, tragically lost her life in December 2016 after an ATV accident. By then, Julissa’s family already knew how life-changing organ donation can be.
Her uncle, Chris Alvarado, mentions that several of their family members are organ recipients. Although the loss of life is tragic, and Alvarado says that the “grieving always remains,” the family finds comfort knowing that Julissa’s spirit continues to live on. They are grateful that she was able to help others.
Chris has first handedly seen the impact of organ and tissue donation, and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, he continuously encourages all family and friends to register. He says that if he were to describe the family’s donation journey in one word, he considers it “inspiring.”
SHARE LOVE. SHARE LIFE.
Organs are organs. There are truly no limitations to who can register as a donor. Throughout Pride Month, we encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community to register and celebrate the diversity that lies within the LGBTQ+, transplant and donation communities.

Organ Donors in Arizona Set Record
Record-breaking generosity
Arizonans have once again proven their extraordinary generosity, setting a new record for organ donation in the state. Forty-five organ donors offered the gift of life in May 2024, the most in a single month in the history of Donor Network of Arizona (DNA). This incredible display of sharing life translates to 101 lives saved through the successful transplant of 118 organs.
“A record number of 45 heroes is made possible first by the generosity of Arizonans in their most tragic moment—choosing life, altruism and the human endeavor that is donation,” says Abdulwahab Al-Saleh, MSN RN CPTC, director of the Donor Optimization department at DNA. “Organizationally it represents the strength we have in unity with our team, organ donors and their families. We’re our best when we work together to maximize the gift of life.”
This record beats July 2023 data when Arizona had 39 organ donors, and it demonstrates the ongoing commitment of DNA to save lives through organ donation, made possible by donors and their families.
In fact, DNA has seen steady growth since its inception in 1986. Organ donation has increased by 180% over the past 15 years—121% increase in the last decade alone.

Eat spaghetti. Save lives.
THE POWER OF COMMUNITY
Through a unique partnership between Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) and The Spaghetti Shack, a new opportunity to connect to the community has come to fruition when both hungry diners and passionate community advocates come together.
The Spaghetti Shack, a community-oriented, fast casual pasta concept, was founded by five lifelong friends in 2022. With locations in Tempe and Pinetop, The Spaghetti Shack offers delicious meals while making a positive impact on the community around them.
DNA hosted The Spaghetti Shack for its 2nd annual fundraiser event at the Tempe office location earlier this year—called the Spaghetti Shacktacular—the first event of its kind at DNA and an opportunity to reintroduce organ and tissue donation to a new audience that enjoyed a build-your-own spaghetti dinner and toured DNA’s operation.
The Spaghetti Shack wants to connect their diners to the lifesaving gift of organ and tissue donation by sharing stories like liver recipient, Valen Krasnov.
Krasnov was just 3 years old when his parents learned he was in liver failure. He needed a transplant. The shocking news came after Valen and his father, Zaccarri Krasnov, went on a camping trip and noticed Valen’s eyes were almost completely yellow – jaundiced. He was admitted into the hospital in June 2021.
Twelve hours after being put on the transplant list, he received a second chance at life – an indication of just how sick he truly was.
SPAGHETTI WITH A PURPOSE
Meet Joey Palomarez, an entrepreneur, restaurateur, community builder and currently the Managing Partner of The Spaghetti Shack.
Being a second-generation restaurateur, Joey grew up working in his parents’ restaurants where he learned the industry and his philosophy on food. With professional experience in both collegiate sports and mortgage sales, Joey turned back to the restaurant industry with his new outlook and mission.
His new mission: Provide quality and affordable food to allow his customers to spend less time cooking and cleaning, and more time with their families and loved ones.
“The Spaghetti Shack is excited to partner with Donor Network of Arizona to recognize those who have given the gift of life and those who have made the decision to be registered donors,” says Palomarez. “We want to partner with DNA to introduce them to our customers and the communities they serve and show the impact that organ and tissue donation has on our fellow Arizonans.”
DINERS DRIVING REGISTRATIONS
Throughout June, help us celebrate donation alongside The Spaghetti Shack. Both locations will host a monthlong registration drive at their restaurants. The Spaghetti Shack will offer a free dessert and a reusable Donate Life bag for customers who register or reaffirm their decision to be organ and tissue donors.
It doesn’t end there! Diners who register or reaffirm their decision will also have an opportunity to enter a raffle for the chance to win tickets to DNA’s Donate Life Day at the Arizona Diamondbacks and a $100 gift card to The Spaghetti Shack. All they have to show is the donor heart insignia on their state ID or driver’s license or a screenshot of the registry confirmation on their smartphone.

In with the new – Magnifying a donor’s impact
In November 2023, Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) finalized an agreement with Banner Health to create Arizona’s first donor care center (DCC) at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix (B-UMCP).
That means deceased organ donors who meet criteria will be transported to the DCC for continued donor care and the recovery of donated gifts for transplantation.
In 2022, The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) committee recommended that organ procurement organizations (OPOs) should have a DCC as a best practice. Through strategic planning, DNA determined that a Phoenix-based hospital DCC would magnify the generosity of donors and their families, expand our impact on lives saved through transplantation, and increase effectiveness for an everchanging health care system.
THE GRAND OPENING
Fast forward from November to now: DNA and B-UMCP celebrated with a ribbon cutting of the DCC Friday, May 24 at the B-UMCP Healing Garden.
“The way we see it, organ and tissue donation offers an additional, meaningful way for a family to remember a loved one they’ve lost. We do this in partnership with Arizona hospitals – especially with Banner Phoenix,” said PJ Geraghty, DNA vice president of Clinical Services during the ceremony.
This event honored the tireless work of many individuals from across Banner Health and DNA, alongside the generosity of donors who have and will be cared for in the DCC before saving countless lives.
“Our names have changed, but our service to the community has only gotten better,” said Kathy Mills, DNA senior vice president and chief financial officer, referring to DNA’s origins as Arizona Organ and Tissue Bank as part of B-UMCP when its name was still Good Samaritan Medical Center. “This is where organ donation started for our state. So, for us, this is a homecoming of sorts.”
benefits of this change
This change addresses an inconsistency in resources during a donor case depending on variables at any given hospital: access to services, staffing shortages and OR space, to name a few. The DCC has critical care space for up to four donors. It is centrally located in the state and near Sky Harbor International Airport, which will help make donor care and organ allocation more efficient.
The originating hospital from where the donor is referred, in turn, will benefit by shifting priority to other types of procedures in their own ORs, which DNA has historically shared, as well as freeing up ICU space the donor would occupy ahead of scheduled organ recovery.
continued donor and family care
Prior to transportation to the DCC, DNA’s donation and family advocates (DFAs) will still collaborate with the originating hospital to complete memory making with the donor family. DFAs will also stay in touch with the donor family throughout the donor care process, then bridging to DNA’s two-year donor family aftercare program.
increasing lives saved
The mission of Banner Health is “making health care easier, so life can be better,” and the mission of DNA is “to make the most of life through the gifts of organ and tissue donation.” Both organizations’ missions align in this new collaboration as we seek to honor the gifts given by donors and their families and to make life better for patients who are waiting for a second chance.
Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month
PUTTING LIFE ON HOLD
“Every day you wake up and you’re like, ‘Is today going to be the day?’”
Sejal Patel waited a year for a kidney and pancreas. Ten years later, her donated kidney began to fail, and she was placed on the waiting list for a second time.
Having gone through the transplant process twice, Sejal has put her life on hold for nearly four years of her life.
Read more on Sejal’s story and how a new tool gets the right kidney to the right patient at the right time: How Offer Filters will help more kidney patients, faster.
Celebrating AAPI Month
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. Throughout May we recognize those waiting for a lifesaving transplant, selfless donors who have given the gift of life and the contributions to the world of donation within, and from, this community.
SEMINAL LEADERSHIP
Dr. Harini Chakerra is a transplant nephrologist and the medical director of the Pancreas Transplant Program at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. Her areas of expertise include determination of eligibility for kidney and pancreas transplant, providing complex coordination and management for patients after kidney and pancreas transplant and promoting a patient’s understanding of their disease and empowering them to become partners in managing their health. She was responsible for transforming the internal medicine resident rotation in nephrology.
Additionally, she was instrumental in the founding of two fellowships (General Nephrology and Transplant Nephrology) and was the founding leader for the renal block, Mayo Medical School in Arizona. She provides mentorship to several residents and fellows.
Dr. Chakerra has been a seminal leader in elucidating the mechanisms and consequences of metabolic disease post-transplant.
The Numbers
Currently, there are more than 10,000 people within the AAPI community on the national transplant waiting list, 161 that reside in Arizona*. In 2023, 487 people from this community gave the gift of life through both deceased and living donation* in the U.S.
Transplants can be successful regardless of the ethnicity of the donor and recipient. However, the chance of longer-term success may be greater if the donor and recipient are closely matched in terms of their shared genetic background for most organs.
*Data as of May 17, 2024.
A Generous Hero
A generous and friendly person, David Kong valued his family and his faith. The generosity that permeated every element of his life also resulted in him registering as an organ and tissue donor. He even talked to his older children about donation when they turned 16 and got their driver’s licenses.
In November 2021, David tragically passed from a ruptured brain aneurysm. He went on to save and heal lives through the donation of his kidneys, corneas, heart valves and skin tissue.
“When he was able to donate, my heart was breaking at losing him, but I was glad to help prevent another family from the heartbreak we’re experiencing,” says Kendra Kong, David’s wife.
“I always wanted to donate, but it was an obscure thing to me before. However, going through the process, and seeing how much they did for us to honor David at his death, I encourage others to give the gift of life,” she says.
You Can Help
Together, we can save and improve the quality of life in diverse communities. Register as an organ and tissue donor today at www.DonateLifeAZ.org.
Beyond the Call: Celebrating National EMS Week
HEROISM IN LIFE AND BEYOND
Arizona Department of Public Safety Trooper Tyler James Edenhofer responded to 911 calls after someone threw rocks at cars on I-10 in Phoenix. He passed away after being shot. In his final days of training, and recently engaged, Tyler died at 24.
Tyler was kind and caring and always had a desire to help. He showcased that as a Navy veteran, in his short tenure as a trooper, as well as having registered as an organ and tissue donor.
Two women in Arizona regained their vision through Tyler’s corneas. Both can now take in the desert sunsets or see their loved ones’ smiles. Tyler also donated different types of tissues that helped roughly 20 more people to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
“I know Tyler was proud to donate,” his mother says. “Gone way too soon, he had so much more to give.”
HONORING EMS HEROES
May 19 – 25, we recognize National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week. As this week unfolds, let’s take a moment to recognize the unwavering dedication and courage of our EMS professionals. These individuals serve as first responders in times of crisis and deserve to be recognized and celebrated.
What is an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Profession? There is a broad range of careers that are categorized as an EMS profession, but it all boils down to providing immediate medical care in emergency situations. Some, but not all, of these professions include:
- Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
- Paramedics
- Medics
- Emergency medical dispatchers
- Flight nurses
- Police officers
- Fire fighters
- Emergency nurses
- Emergency physicians
RECOGNIZING ARIZONA EMS HEROES
On Wednesday, May 8, Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) took a moment to celebrate Arizona EMS professionals alongside Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix (B-UMCP).
Vikki Burdine, the mother of donor hero Jaimy Burdine, joined the celebration and shared her daughter’s story. Jaimy was a fearless and devoted mother of two kids. While on a horse cart ride with her son and mother, the horse began to run uncontrollably.
Jaimy made the brave decision to jump backwards from the cart with her son in her arms, saving her son’s life. However, Jaimy landed on her back and hit her head on the ground, suffering a devasting brain injury. The paramedics did everything they could to save her, but her story didn’t end there. Jaimy went on to save and heal others through organ and tissue donation.
EMS professionals were recognized for the roles they play in stories like Jaimy’s. In fact, first responders were involved in 856* cases that resulted in organ and tissue donation in Arizona in 2023. Together, DNA and B-UMCP presented awards to:
- Tolleson Police Department
- Phoenix Police Department
- Phoenix Fire B Shift – Engine 40 and Rescue 40
- Phoenix Fire B Shift – Engine 21 and Rescue 21
- Phoenix Fire A Shift – Engine 6 and Rescue 3
- Banner Air 4
*Some cases may be counted more than once if multiple agencies responded.
CHANGING THE NARRATIVE
It’s a common misconception that EMS professionals will not work as hard to save your life if you are a registered organ and tissue donor. This is FALSE.
In an emergency, physicians, nurses and other EMS workers don’t have time to even check a patient’s name—let alone their donation registration status, assuming it’s even shown on their ID. (Not all registered donors have the donor heart insignia on their identification.) EMS professionals still work hard and swiftly to stabilize a patient. That’s it.
Learn more about registration status and the process of organ donation in Why doctors WILL NOT let you die if you’re a registered organ donor.
THANK YOU
To all of our EMS professionals: Thank you! We work in partnership with you and your dedication to saving and healing lives does not go unnoticed.
The tummy angel
Valen Krasnov was just 3 years old when his parents learned he was in liver failure. He needed a transplant. The shocking news came after Valen and his father, Zaccarri Krasnov, went on a camping trip and noticed Valen’s eyes were almost completely yellow—jaundiced. He was admitted into the hospital in June 2021.
“We really thought we would bring him to the hospital, get some medicine and go home,” says his mother, Kelsey Krasnov. Luckily, Valen matched and received a transplant within 12 hours of being put on the transplant list, an indication of just how sick he truly was.
They call his donor the “tummy angel” and are always thinking of ways to celebrate the donor and make sure they are remembered.
“They have given us two more years with our son and for that we are forever thankful,” Kelsey says.

Ending the pediatric waiting list
LOVE COMES FROM THE (DONATED) HEART
Malaya Soares, 5, has been through more than many will experience in their entire lives. She was born with a heart condition that prevented proper blood flow called dilated cardiomyopathy.
“It turns out we have the same exact mutated gene,” says heart recipient and Soares’ mother, Mia Welch, about their identical diagnoses.
The team at Phoenix Children’s was able to stabilize Soares in an emergency and eventually added her to the national organ waiting list for a new heart.
“She was listed for transplant for 14 days,” Welch says, the longest two weeks of her life.
Further tightening the mother-daughter bond, Soares got her donated heart on the birthday of Welch’s own heart donor. After her donation, Soares had post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). Essentially cancer, PTLD is a life-threatening complication after a transplant. But with a sparkly tiara, a bright smile and a personality to match, Soares has a new heart and is now cancer free.
IT’S NATIONAL PEDIATRIC TRANSPLANT WEEK
Did you know? There are more than 2,100 children under the age of 18 on the national transplant waiting list, and 27% of them are under five years old.
This week, April 21-27, is National Pediatric Transplant week. This initiative serves to end the pediatric transplant list for the 2,100+ waiting, and honor pediatric donors and their families.
HIS ENERGY LIVES ON …
A talented baseball player, a son and a friend to many, Dylan Barrier always knew how to light up a room. At just 18 years old, he gave the gift of life and healing to six others after a tragic skateboarding accident.
“I’m really pleased that he decided to donate his organs so that other people could live and have a chance at life,” says his mother, Stephanie Barrier.
Dylan was always a daredevil, looking for excitement in everyday situations.
His energetic and generous spirit will live on in his family and all those who hear his story.
Stephanie has a message to Dylan’s recipients and their families: “I’m really happy for you and your family. I’m really sad that I lost my son, but I’m really thankful that you guys will get another chance at life with your family. Most of all, just enjoy life, enjoy every moment of it.”

A gentle Giant
“Darrell was a tall, gentle giant,” says donor wife, Michelle Yoon. Darrell Boito loved to fix things, including cars, and shared special moments with their young daughter when she tagged along. He enjoyed watching baseball—his favorite team being the Arizona Diamondbacks—and family outings to the zoo and park.
In June 2023, Boito passed away after a brain aneurysm.
He was able to donate his liver, heart, kidneys and corneas. His passing left the family devastated, but they are thankful for the last Father’s Day weekend they spent together.
The family also finds comfort in knowing that their loved one helped others after his passing. Yoon can picture Boito saying, “That’s pretty cool!” if he could see how many lives he saved and healed.
