CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The University of Northern Iowa women's basketball program participated in the 120,000 Burpee Challenge today to raise awareness for organ donation during National Donate Life Month.
Troy, the brother of assistant coach , lost two children in a car accident in 2010. The family set up the Carson & Claire Forever Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to maintaining the Carson & Claire memory through community activities supporting education and organ donation.
"My brother was faced with a difficult decision that evening to have both of his children be organ donors," DeJoode said.
