Brazilian Billionaire Dug His Bentley A Grave To Benefit Organ Donation

Amazing!


In September 2013, eccentric Portuguese billionaire Count Chiquinho Scarpa posted to Facebook he would be burying his Bentley. A media frenzy ensued about his rash behavior.

When the day finally arrived, he did not, in fact, bury his car. Instead, he made a grand media statement on what was the first day of National Organ Donation Week, stating,

“I didn’t bury my car, but everyone thought it absurd when I said I would. What’s absurd is burying your organs, which can save many lives. Nothing is more valuable. Be a donor. Tell your family.”

………..Are YOU an organ donor?

Immediately After a Hospital Visit from The HeartBrothers

"Pat and Bob were living proof we would survive...that this was all part of our journey. After meeting the HeartBrothers, I remember Nick saying that when all this was over he would be a HeartBrother too. It made me smile because it showed me Nick had not given up hope despite how sick he was...he was thinking about our future."
