Default My family

My family have made the Daily Mail today & thought you might like to see their story. This of course is only half the story as Emily was born with the help of IVF which only worked after the transplant.

What a wonderful story. Emily is a little poppet, you must all be so proud of her. And what an amazing family the donor's people are. And how lovely that they keep in touch.

How amazing, and it shows how important it is that we are all on the donor register.

What a lovely story, they look so happy. I was listening to the radio the other day and they are still talking about the introducing the "opt out option" to see if that will increase more organ donors, I for one think that is a very good idea.

I just read that article how lovely that the poor young man's parents can see the product of their generosity in their desperately sad time.
