Senators Owner Saves Over 20 Lives with his Public Appeal

ottawa senators eugene melnyk saves lives

Many people were critical of Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk appealing to the public in hopes of finding a suitable donor for a liver transplant. Why should a rich owner of a NHL team be able to skip the line and get a transplant ahead of other poor people who need one?

On Thursday, the Senators announced his public appeal resulted in a life saving transplant for more than 20 other patients in need.




In a great twist, the potential donors who stepped forward for Mr. Melnyk decided to proceed as donors for others.
