    A Webster boy who lived 100 months was honored Saturday with 100 innings of baseball, his favorite sport. 

    Noah Passero died last year while waiting for a heart transplant. He was eight years old. On Saturday, he was remembered at Cobbs Hill Park.

    "The support that we still have is unbelievable," said Noah's mom Wendy Passero.

    "We don't want him to be forgotten," added his dad Dan Passero. "And this hits home to us more now than ever."

    Dozens of players hit the diamond for the Festival of Softball. Their MBP (most bravest player) is the late Noah Passero.

    "He's watching and having fun," said Dan.

    "He's looking down on us smiling and giving us all a thumbs up for what we're doing down here," Wendy said.

    These parents are remembering their son through baseball. Heart disease took his life on April 13th, 2008. He needed a heart transplant, but a heart never became available.

    The Passeros don't want anyone else to face the same nightmare. that's why they encourage organ donation.

    "It is a true gift of life," said Bernice Eblovi of Fairport. "I think every body knows that, but transplant patients really know it better than anybody else."

    Eblovi got a liver transplant seven years ago.

    "I'm here because somebody signed their donor card," said Eblovi. "And I carry her with me every day of my life, of our life."

    At Strong Hospital alone, about 800 people are waiting for organ transplants. Nationally, that number jumps to 104,000.

    "Approximately every 13 minutes some body's added to that list," said Karen Guarino of the Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network. "So you can do the math and see that, unfortunately, there are many individuals who are dying waiting."

    People like Noah Passero. But a part of Noah lives on. His eyes were donated and now two people are restored to perfect vision.

    "They are seeing life through Noah's eyes which is awesome," said Wendy.

    The event raised $13,000 for the Golisano Children's Hospital Pediatric Cardiology Fund at Strong. Twenty people also signed up to donate life.

    "Not having Noah be forgotten is what means the most to us," said Wendy.
