My friend Charles Townsend lost his 28-year old sister in an accident that nobody was prepared for. Lauren Huddleston died doing what she loved. While running on Katy Trail in Dallas last Friday, she collided with a bicyclist. She was taken to the hospital but could not survive her injuries.
I did not know Lauren but we have a lot in common. We went to the same university and both worked for the same firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers. Charles told me that thanks to a co-worker from PwC who happened to be running along the same trail, Lauren was identified immediately. This gave her family time to get to the hospital and make the necessary arrangements for Lauren to share her organs with so many others, something she had always wanted to do.
