Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and the family of Mary Anne Ahearn, a heart transplant recipient in 1990, joined together to plan a 5K Walk to raise money in her memory. Mary Anne Ahearn lived almost 12 years after her transplant before succumbing to an unrelated illness. The walk will support NBIMC’s heart transplant program, which benefits both children and adults, and The Sharing Network to promote organ donor education.
