LETTER

IN Support of Organ Donation Week (until October 2) public buildings across the country are being illuminated in pink to raise awareness.

This week is our best chance of helping the 7,000 terminally ill children and adults on UK transplant lists.

My own young daughter, Sarah Meredith, who has Cystic fibrosis is now in her 15th stressful month waiting for a liver.

Anyone can need a lifesaving transplant at anytime, but a lack of donor organs is a major problem... thousands don’t make it.

Organ donation gives a person the opportunity to live on in up to nine lives, always gratefully remembered.

Please talk with your family about donation, so that you know each others wishes. They have to give consent before Organ Donation is allowed to go ahead.

Please leave them certain by signing the Organ Donor Register at: www.organdonation.nhs.uk .

Thank you from all, including Sarah Meredith.

Catherine Meredith
