school badges earned by a teen girl whose star was just starting to rise.
Each square is no bigger than two hands cupped together, but the stories inside them are what Jane Tucker wants people to remember.
These are the stories she wants to tell, not her own — not the one of a mother of two young girls who was healthy until her swollen, damaged heart set her life on a new course.
Or the one of a scary move — twice airlifted to London from her hometown of Niagara Falls — until she and her young family decided to leave everything they knew behind and move to London for good so that Tucker could be closer to the doctors who could save her life.
Or the one about Tucker as an accidental activist, who started the London Transplant Gift of Life Association the day she found out London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) was cutting its famed adult heart transplant program at University Hospital.
But Tucker — and the dedicated doctors involved in the program — fought back and the program remained.

Tucker spearheaded putting those squares together,We have all of the wholesalebeads you use every day. oh so delicately stitched by Riverside United Church into a patchwork of memories. Those squares represent the incredibly generous donations of families who in their most trying hour — dealing with loss of a loved one — decided to give life to others.
After convincing LHSC to change its mind and keep the adult heart transplant program, Tucker turned her attention to raising awareness about organ donation, and celebrating the lives of those who, after death, gave life.
Tucker was a healthy 35-year-old woman with two young girls who had gradually become tired and weak.
On March 14, 1994, she was in a Niagara Falls hospital looking for answers about why she felt that way when a cardiologist who happened to be on duty recognized she was in heart failure. He rushed her to a helipad to be airlifted to University Hospital in London to doctors who specialized in heart transplants.
“When I got here the care was amazing,” she says. “This was not an unusual situation for them (doctors).”
She shifted in and out of intensive care for 18 months.
Eventually, her family decided it was best to pack up and move to London so Tucker could be closer to the care she needed.
She was reading the newspaper in October 2001 when she learned of LHSC’s plan to cut the cardiac transplant program.
“I cried the entire day,” she says.
She spoke to a hospital social worker and program doctors.
That day, she began the London Transplant Gift of Life Association and spoke to anyone who would listen about the importance of the program.
Her rallying worked and the program was saved. Tucker was relieved — and exhausted — but says she couldn’t stop.
“I realized our work had only just begun. I realized it had to shift to awareness. So many people were passing away and we didn’t have enough organs.”
Though she still can’t work, Tucker,I assumed that all eight of you knew how to make the replicawatches00. who is now single, says she is more than her illness.
She continues to lead the association and an army of dedicated volunteers. She was also asked to join both LHSC’s organ donor awareness committee and represents Southwestern Ontario for the Trillium Gift of Life Network that maintains the transplant waiting list in the province.
