In the presence of Mr. Dirk Verschuren, President of the Phénix association, Mr. Didier Pignard, President of the Greffes association, and Ms. Audrey Neme, President of the France Organes association, the commitment charter was signed on Saturday, September 26th. This act makes Saint-Laurent-de-Mure an 'Organ Donation Ambassador City'.
This ceremony held particular significance as it was dedicated to the memory of Sébastien Duarte, a 42-year-old resident who passed away in December 2024 following a medical error. Through his organ donation, five lives were saved.
Through this commitment, the municipality of Saint-Laurent-de-Mure reaffirms its desire to raise awareness, inform, and promote solidarity around organ donation, a vital cause.
By joining the network of Ambassador Cities, the municipality aims to encourage its citizens to inform themselves, reflect, and discuss this humane and civic gesture with their loved ones.
