Orgon Donation: In memory of my friend I would like to ask you to please consider signing the organ donation register

[GColdtimer]

My best friend's husband died a year ago tomorrow whilst waiting for an emergency liver transplant. He would have been 40 next month. He died 2 weeks after first feeling ill. - he had a very rare and acute liver condition.

For 48 hours he was at the top of the list for a new liver but sadly he didn't survive. I was at the hospital when he passed away and that dreadful experience will stay with me for life.

I can't help but wonder if more people had signed up to the register, would he still be alive. This funny, generous, gregarious man who was so well loved could well have died needlessly.

So, in Gwynne's memory, I would like to ask those of you who would willingly donate their organs, please sign the register and talk to your family.

I do not wish to preach about organ donation. I just wanted to do something in memory of my friend.

Thank you

the register

i cant belive its a year

I know misdee, sometimes I think it was a lifetime ago and others I think it could have been last week its all so vivid.

Am already on the register, but bumping for you.

I have just done it.

Ment to do it for ages, but because of your link now have done it right now.

twofalls do u mind if i put [eters transplant story up as well?

I too am on the register, as is DH, but bumping in support of this great cause. Will change my Facebook status to request friends do the same. x

can I ask a question? see how on driving lisence forms there the option to register, is that exactly the same as being on the list?

Been on it for years - carried a card since age 16. I really think it should be an opt out rather than an opt in.

Done

Thank you very much wannabe and flirty. That is a good idea, I will go and do the same.

not sure giraffes but I will find out. thank you ragdoll

And I agree rumpel

just put it on my facebook too.

for anyone thinking they will join later - honestly thats the quickest online form I have ever filled out, name, sex, dob, address, email, what parts to donate. DONE easy peasy

thanks giraffes - it is so easy isn't it!

You are right to do it now rather than hanging on thinking "it is something I will get round to"

I think I am registered as part of boots advantage card, but I have registered on that just incase.

On it already.
Will try to get dh to do it too.

thank you.

I would really like to see if I could keep this bumped if possible. I feel I owe it to my friend to do something.

thank you

bumpity bump

Have registered; thank you.

Done. Have always carried the card but this is even more effective. Thanks.

I'm already on the register, but thinking of you and your friend.

I registered this week, and put it on facebook to encourage others - I didn't know why I hadn't done it sooner.
BUMP!

thank you.

Haven't been on all night so bumping for the night late crowd
