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.

Bump

MrsBodger · 04/06/2013 07:32

Thanks for bumping this for me! I'll have another go with it today, then maybe try another track - can't believe that more people won't help out (but perhaps they're all registered already).

All 5 of us already registered but bumping again.

MrsBodger · 04/06/2013 11:49

Thanks for the bump, KrazyKurls - nice to have some help!

And thanks, Smudging - it means so much to Tee.

Already registered but bumping for anyone who isn't. Wish the system was opt out not opt in.

MrsBodger · 04/06/2013 13:18

Thanks, Hysterical Paroxysm - I so agree. Love the name, btw.

I've been registered for yonks because when I die, I want to be recycled as much as possible!

My kids are under strict instructions to insist that the doctors take everything that isn't knackered. I'm all for an opting out system being brought in - it's shocking that it hasn't been already.

Much kudos and respect to your friend, MrsBodger.

FaceCake · 04/06/2013 17:47

I'm also already registered, but wanted to bump for others. What an incredible woman, I hope she gets her miracle.

Yonihadtoask · 04/06/2013 18:00

Done.

CatelynStark · 04/06/2013 20:58

Bump :)

drinkyourmilk · 04/06/2013 21:06

Done.
I've been registered since I was 21, but hadn't updated my details.

cq · 04/06/2013 21:15

Done. And shared on my Facebook page.

Been meaning to do this for ages and was waiting till we moved. We get the keys on Thursday so no more excuses.

What a wonderful lady, and an inspired campaign.

Posted too soon. My DS was very ill at birth and we spent some time in Great Ormond Street Hospital. Some of the parents there were simply in anguish waiting to see if their children would get the organs they needed. We discussed donation, in case she did not pull through. It was the hardest conversation I have ever had. And thankfully she made it and is now a strapping 12 year old. But I talk to my children all the time about organ donation, and they know my wishes. I just hadn't registered until now as we were living abroad. So thank you for the nudge.

spacegirl81 · 04/06/2013 21:24

I've been registered since I was 16

MrsBodger · 05/06/2013 10:04

Gosh, I turn my back for five minutes and all you lovely people show up!

Thank you so much Yoni, Drink Your Milk and CQ - it's a real boost for Tee. And best of luck with the house move, CQ.

And thanks for bumping, Catelyn, Facecake and Spacegirl. I'll pass on your messages.
