In August Idaho News 6 reported on a bike accident, along the Boise Greenbelt, that led to the death of an Emmett woman. But like in life, Donna Simpson is still making a difference.
- Emmett woman’s legacy lives on through the organ donor program
- Dave Simpson said his wife was able to have her eyes and corneas donated
- Envision Eye Bank said two people received the gift of life because of Donna
(Below is the transcript from the broadcast story)
Donna Simpson was out doing what she enjoyed on that tragic day. Enjoying time with friends as they rode their bikes along the Boise Greenbelt. Her husband Dave told us in August. “We don’t want Donna’s life, that accident to be in vain, we want something good to come of it.”
After contacting Boise Parks and Recreation, they had a crew out come out days later to fix a couple of bad bumps on the path and came back again to re-pave the entire section. Dave Simpson then had a very serious discussion with Doctors at the hospital about donating Donna’s organs.
