***Please Keep this Bumped***

[SaintGeorge]

I know this has been done so many times before, but I think it is well overdue for a reminder.

Please, please everyone get people to make sure they are on the \link{http://www.uktransplant.org.uk\Transplant Register}.

And if you can put up posters, leaflets ANYWHERE, then click the link for free promo material too.

Bumping this again.

The dd of a Mner (lucyep) has been on the list now since Christmas - she so needs her new heart.

And Misdee's dh, Peter needs his too.

Please think about signing up if you haven't already and talk to your loved ones about it so they know you mean it.

Thank you!

[please sign up emoticon]

Bringing the links to the top again.

ooh, I shuddered when I looked at the link. Sorry everyone, I just cant do it. Loads of respect to those of you who can.

Thanks for doing the links SG

up you go again. I am guessing by lack of response Sagger, that a lot of folk probably feel like me about this.

We have kept this bumped on and off for 2 months though. Kept it in peoples minds for that long. I think that is pretty good going.

I am already regiatered. I also give blood and have joined the NBS bone marrow register as well.

Just signed up and emailed my family too. Already give blood but haven't given since last summer. Note to self (and any other donors) - ring and book appt on Monday, blood is in short supply during summer holidays.

I know it's tough tenalady and it's hard to think about anything happening to you or your loved ones. But my take on it is, I don't need those organs when I'm dead, I'm being cremated and it's such a waste.

And it's a personal thing for me as sadly my dd is more likely to need an organ than to be able to donate - we've been sooo close once before. Kind of spurs you on a bit.

Registered (have carried a paper card for YEARS!)

Thank you...

\link{http://www.htft.org.uk/categoryRender.asp?categoryID=3516&cCID=4259\Heart transplant families} are kicking off Transplant week with a Brighton to Worthing Trek.

The little boy Connor in the \link{http://www.htft.org.uk/categoryrender.asp?categoryid=3507&ccid=4250\news section}is the son of a friend of mine. He's a star!

Not only heart transplants, all sorts. My dd is doing it with her new liver! Anyone would like to sponsor her she would be most grateful.

Brill somanykiddies. When did she get her liver? Did she wait long?

Boingy boing. Reminds me to make my blood donation appointment.....

A great post which definitely did the trick - I am now registered and will be asking my husband to do it too.

Haven't read all the posts so sorry if this a duplicate comment but, if you go the site to register, I'd advise you to look out the life story section - I initially didn't click yes to cornea donation (for some reason I felt uncomfortable about it) but once I'd read how cornea grafts had been so beneficial to lots of people I amended and went for 'all'.

Got her liver nearly two years ago. Had acute failure due to underlying illness so went straight to the top of the list in this country. Doner and match were found the next day thankfully as her own liver was totally shot and they say she had only days left!!!

Glad she's doing well Smk. I remember a little boy in ITU when dd was there once. Over a few days he got quickly yellower and yellower - he got his liver literally at the very last minute. And he did so well........out of ITU before us. I often think about how he's getting on.

And yes while we're at it blood stocks are low - give blood!!
