Founded by former ÈÕº«ÂÒÂ× lacrosse player and heart transplant recipient Ryan Scoble ’23, LAX-for-Life has quickly become a platform for spreading awareness about the importance of organ donation. Scoble's journey from being diagnosed with heart failure to receiving a life-saving heart transplant, and eventually returning to the field, is an inspiring testament to the power of organ donation. Through his personal experience, Scoble seeks to encourage others to consider giving the gift of life.Ìý
