Torch of Life Relay Wraps up at Queen's Park

It touched a lot of us during a stop through Dryden and Kenora back in March and the crusade has come to an end for now.

The Torch of Life walk through 71 communities to highlight the needs for transplant organs ended yesterday at the Ontario

legislature with a rally and a plea for people to sign donor cards.

Double-lung recipient Helene Campbell of Ottawa, who has attained celebrity status with her campaign urging people to register as donors, carried the torch on the final leg.

The Torch Relay began in Kenora on March 2nd.
