Life-limiting illness

Please help my old friend achieve her dying wish

I attach a link to her website. It shows a short video which will tell you all about it much more clearly than I can:

www.save5.org.uk/video-appeal.html

She has been ill for many years and has put all her efforts into trying to help other people in need of organ donation. I know some people don't want to register to donate, but if you think you could, please, please take the two minutes now and do it.

Already registered as is most of my family, sadly there are not enough donars out there, which is heartbreaking for the many many waiting.

Very best wishes for you friend x

A very good friend benefitted from a donated liver when she was less than 24 hours away from dying, so miracles can happen.

Thanks, Dreams, good to be reminded that there's still hope. But I just wish that all those people who don't have strong feelings against organ donation would take the very very small amount of trouble to register!

Surely this is the time to make it opt out instead of opt in isnt it, it seems most people wouldnt mind but just dont think to either register or tell family. I guess until your in that position.............

Done. Brave, brave woman. Good luck to her.

Glitterfairys and Scootergrrrl - thank you so much.

You're right, she is very brave. There's not much anyone can do to help her chances of survival (except pray for that miracle) but at least we can help her achieve her goal.

We're all potential organ donors here, even DS who hates to give away anything. It seems so very illogical not to, when the good that it does is so wonderful.

Yes, it does seem a bit of a no-brainer.

Love the line about your DS.
