Raising Money For The Cystic Fibrosis Trust

Organ Donation

My dear friend Nikki received a Heart & Lung Transplant and you can't describe what it can do not only for the recipient but the family and friends of that person.

Sadly it was early days in the world of transplantation for Nikki, but it did give her back her life and extra time to do all the things she wanted to do the most.

Since then so much has changed with medical research the news for people receiving transplants is just getting better and better.

The only sad news is there is a serious and increasing shortage of organ donors in the UK. Last year over 400 people died whilst awaiting an organ transplant and there are currently over 6500 seriously ill people on the waiting list whose lives are dependent on the gift of organ donation.

It is essential that more people start thinking and talking about the issue. Only 22% of the population have currently signed the National Organ Donor Register, even though when questioned the majority of the population support the idea.

It is also equally important to inform your next of kin of your wishes to be an organ donor as the final decision will be theirs.
