CJ Spiegel always wanted to be a super hero, a dream he realized at the early age of seven. A blonde-haired, bright-eyed, adventurous lad, CJ was tragically taken from our world in November of 2004 when he was struck by a passing motorist.
Although, visibly, CJ appeared to have nothing more than a cut, he suffered fatal head trauma. As his parents were dealing with this tragic news, they were asked if they would like CJ to be an organ donor so that his misfortune would benefit others who were suffering. Because CJ always dreamt of being a super hero, his parents knew this was the one thing that would earn him that status.
Because of CJ, others have the gift of life. His heart, liver, kidneys and eyes are proof that CJ’s legacy will help others run faster, see clearer and soar higher, just like the little hero he is! CJ’s parents sponsor an annual golf tournament, The CJ Memorial Golf Tournament, each August in loving memory of their precious son to help promote donor awareness in Colorado’s mountain communities and to honor the life of their little hero.
