After a long illness, I was lucky enough to have been offered a liver transplant. The medical team were wonderful, but they can only perform these life saving operations when they have donated organs with which to do so.

I have been so fortunate. I am well, and am enjoying life with my family, friends and two beautiful grand daughters. This would not have been possible if someone out there had not made the difficult decision to donate. I will always be grateful, and I hope that the donor family have found consolation in the fact that they have given the chance of a second life to another.
