Organ donor walk honors Martinsville man and his family

ROANOKE, VA – A Martinsville man received a "Honor Walk" at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital on Wednesday.

Hundreds lined the halls of the hospital to honor 24-year-old Aryues Townsend, who selflessly gave the gift of life following an accident.

"Honoring our celebrity Aryues, touched so many lives. Now, he's on his way to improve/save seven lives. His generosity proves he loved life and wanted to share that love of life even after he left this world," his mother, LaCresha Townsend, stated.
