Six-Year-Old Donor Hero's Legacy Inspires Hope Thirty Years Later

There are no time limits to the gift of second chances, a fact proven by the life and legacy of the courageous and joy-filled six-year-old Joshua Blake “Josh” Sharp, who touched many lives in his six short years.

Raised in Grandfield, Oklahoma, Josh was an active, fun-loving child. He had just started the first grade and had a talent for making friends everywhere he went. Josh liked to go out into the country and shoot BB guns with his father, Philip, take trips out to fish in local lakes and ride four-wheelers at the Red River. He was a Tiger Cub Scout and enjoyed simply spending time outside.

​New Organ Packing Technology will Maximize Opportunities for Lifesaving Gift

In a race against time, the ability to transport organs efficiently and safely is crucial for ensuring transplant recipients receive the lifesaving gift they need. In 2024, LifeShare and MaxQ partnered in a groundbreaking effort to revolutionize the standard for organ packaging. Now, on March 15, LifeShare will officially launch the LifeSafe Shipper, a cutting-edge packaging solution to reshape the future of organ transportation across the country.

Currently, many vital organs are transported throughout the state in Styrofoam insulated corrugated container, placing limits on the time and distance an organ can travel. Together with local partner MaxQ, a national leader in blood packaging and shipping, LifeShare Innovations is set to introduce a next-generation shipping system that will optimize preservation, tracking and delivery.

“With the LifeSafe Shipper, we will create more opportunities to save the lives of those most in need of an organ transplant,” said Saravan Kumar, CEO at MaxQ Research LLC. “We’re proud to be a part of the team releasing this new technology.” READ FULL STORY
