Life really change change forever with the crash of a bike. In August of 2000, Brandon Harney was stuck by a car while riding his bike. The accident proved fatal for him, and life-giving for 52 others. Yesterday, Dave Ebberson — the recipient of Brandon's pancreas — drove from Ephrata to Seattle to be part of a “floragraph” decorating event that took place a BECU Headquarters in Tukwila to honor Brandon's gift of life.
Shirley Harney Taylor and Ebberson put the finishing touches on the art piece made from 100% natural materials that will soon be winging its way to be showcased on the Donate Life America Float in the 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade. Brandon's “floragraph” will be among 72 such images proudly on display to earn the attention of millions of viewers. The intent of the float is to raise awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation. Shirley has been ad advocate for the important work of LifeCenter Northwest since Brandon gave the gift of life to so many others when he passed away. She has worked for BECU for 25 years.
