In this compelling episode of "Older & Bolder," part of our summer replay series, we sit down with Bernadine Boulet, a mother who turned personal tragedy into a powerful movement. On a trip to Nipawin, Saskatchewan, to support their son Logan, a Humboldt Broncos player, Bernadine and her husband Toby encountered the devastating aftermath of a bus crash. The accident claimed 16 lives and injured 13 others, leaving a lasting impact on communities across Canada.

Amid their grief, Bernadine and Toby made a profound decision: to donate Logan's organs. This act sparked "The Logan Boulet Effect," a nationwide wave of support for organ donation. This episode delves into Bernadine's journey, the pain of loss, and how Logan's legacy inspired Green Shirt Day, promoting the life-saving cause of organ donation.

Join us on "Older & Bolder" as we explore a story of tragedy, resilience, and the enduring impact of one family's decision to give the gift of life. Tune in to hear Bernadine's heartfelt account and learn about the movement that has touched a nation.
