Please consider and talk it over with your family the
live saving gift of life. Organ donation can mean the difference between life and death for so many on the waiting list. I was most fortunate enough to have a life saving lung transplant in 1998 and I shall ever be grateful to the family of my donor who I most probably will never meet.

With all the deaths in Australia, why is it that we don't all donate our organs and give the gift of life to someone who needs it? Are we so selfish that we don't want to share? Are we just ignorant? I have always been 4 giving the gift if anything happens to me, and we have discussed it many times. It's not morbid, just sensible to consider that something might happen! Why can't we nominate on our Licences that we are organ donors?
