Organ Donation.

One of the first things I was told by my consultant when I was first diagnosed with pulmonary Hypertension was that eventually I may need a heart and lung transplant. This was a shock I can tell you. Never really thought much about organ donation before I was diagnosed. Its not something must people do as its something that is a part of other peoples lives not your own.
I have read many stories in the last couple of years of people having there lives transformed by organ donation. Young people sometimes in there twenties at the start of there lives looking forward to nothing but illness and disability have there lives transformed by the generousity of others.
Organ donation gives hope to people and makes something out of the tragedy of death.The last act a persons life can be there most lasting and generous.
