Hi everyone!
So this week is National Transplant Week and its very close to my heart because an organ donor saved my life..
Every year 1,000 people die waiting for a transplant. However, only 4% of people regularly give blood, and only 31% have joined the Organ Donor Register.
In the UK consent is required before organs can be donated. A person can give their consent for example by joining the NHS Organ Donor Register or by discussing their wishes with loved ones. Alternatively a persons organs can be donated if consent is obtained after their death from an authorised person, such as a relative or friend, it is very important that your loved ones know your wishes.
Pre Double Lung Transplant - was the worst time of my life, i was on oxygen 24 hours a day i never did anything.
Post Double Lung Transplant- my life has changed so much for the better, i can do so much more now!
