BECOME AN ORGAN DONOR AND SAVE SEVEN LIVES
By becoming an organ donor, you can save up to seven lives when you die. Your heart, kidneys, pancreas, liver and lungs can be used to give seriously ill people the chance to live a longer and healthier life. Additionally, you can also help up to 50 others by donating tissues such as corneas, heart valves, skin and bone.
Please register yourself as a donor today so that you can provide hope for people waiting for a life-saving organ. Remember to let your family know about your decision, as they need to give their permission to have your organs removed. Currently there are 4300 people waiting for organs. Less than 800 of them will get the organ(s) they need this year. So please ask everyone you know to become an organ donor. Registering as a donor is free and there will be no cost to your next-of-kin after your death.
Our two main aims are to increase awareness about organ donation among the medical profession and to make the public aware of the desperate need for organs. Our campaign was given a huge boost when advertising agency Lowe Bull (lowebull.com) and the production company Velocity (velocityfilms.com) created a free TV ad for us. The ad illustrates the tragic fact that when one person dies, they potentially take seven lives with them if they are not a donor...
