We are so excited to curl up on the couch and watch for Louisiana hero, Garrett Thompson’s Floragraph during the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day! Will you be watching for the @donatelifefloat with us? ・・・ Garrett Patrick Thompson will be honored with a Floragraph. Sponsored by Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA.) Garrett Patrick Thompson was born on October 4, 2000. As he grew, his sparkling blue eyes, darling dimples and sweet smile brought joy to everyone he met and helped him charm his way out of any mischief he may have found himself in. Garrett was always on the go. He loved to race his Hot Wheels cars and watch NASCAR. Garrett also loved to play ball and started playing baseball as soon as he was old enough. In July of 2007, Garrett was playing with his younger brother, Avery. Garrett fell and had an injury that would lead to stroke-like symptoms. He did not recover from his injuries. Hoping to have something good come out of this devastating loss, Garrett’s family fully embraced the life-giving opportunity of organ donation. Garrett saved four young lives by donating his heart, kidneys and liver. Today his family works to share the importance of donation. Larabee supports new donor families through her work with the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA.) #donatelifefloat #rhythmoftheheart
