Lucinda Daniels collapsed after rushing to help her son, who was injured.
A California mom is being remembered for her selflessness, even in death, after she collapsed on the field during her son's football game.
Lucinda Daniels, a mom of four, ran to the side of her son Dillon, a varsity football player at Mountain View High School in Mountain View, California, when he was injured in game on Aug. 25.
While by Dillon's side, Daniels collapsed after suffering a stroke, the high school's principal Kip Glazer told "Good Morning America."
She was rushed to a local hospital, where she later suffered a second stroke, according to Glazer.
Less than a week later, on Aug. 30, Daniels died, leaving behind four children ranging in age from 10 to 20, as well as her husband Dale.
Her husband declined to be interview by "GMA," authorizing Glazer to speak on his behalf.
Glazer said the family wants to raise awareness of organ donation to honor Daniels' memory, noting that she helped save the lives of four people through organ donation on the day she died.
In the United States, more than 100,000 adults and children are currently on the waiting list for organ donations, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
"On Wednesday when she passed, she already saved four lives, and she will continue to [save] more with her organ donation," Glazer said. "[Dale] really wanted to emphasize Lucinda being an organ donor and the number of lives that she saved. He’s very proud of that."
On Friday, the Daniels family was present at Mountain View High School's first home football game of the season, where Daniels was remembered as the team's biggest cheerleader.

I wonder about this possibility also- really makes one wonder about organ transplantation.
Point taken b
that’s my thought, why was she running onto the field, it wasn’t little league.
she freaked herself out.
Over two years ago I received a new liver, after being on the waiting list for four years. I wrote a letter of thanks to the family of the donor and expressed my condolences, my gratitude, and my wish to someday meet them and learn about who my donor was. Not surprisingly, I haven’t heard from them.
I give thanks to God for my new liver, but someone died and his/her loved ones mourned and lost that person forever. It’s a sobering reminder that I live with every day.
The mothers of baby boomers didn’t spend a decade or more on birth control pills either. Hormonal birth control is far more complicit in strokes than the powers that be want to admit.
