Search For Daughter’s Liver Donor Thrust Charlie Fiske Into A Lifetime Of Service
By Bob Oakes and Shannon Dooling

Ever since his infant daughter Jamie was given a second chance to live more than 30 years ago, Charlie Fiske, formerly of Bridgewater, has felt compelled to give back.

As a young father, Fiske led the search for a liver donor for Jamie, back before organ banks existed. His efforts are credited with the creation of the National Organ Transplant Bank.
