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
