My story

Hello there, yes I can't believe it either, the 10th anniversary of my liver transplant is fast approaching! Where did that decade go? Time to celebrate with a ceilidh, food and good wine.

 

I have been asked by generous friends if I would like a present, and whilst I do value my rebirth-day, the best gift you could give me is seriously considering signing up for the organ donors register (www.uktransplant.org.uk). Now I know that is a challenge too far to some of you, in which case I suggest you think about donating some money to the British Liver Trust. Not only do they support people waiting for transplants, they provide valuable information, and carry out research into liver disease. I certainly appreciated the information I received from them. So why don't you, help me, to help them, to help others. Of course, I'm not going to complain if you give some money, and  sign up.


In return, have a look at the photos over on the left there. I thought I would show you some of the events from 2010 that I would never have taken part in without that generous decision my donor's next of kin took. Thank you to them, to the researchers that continue to push the boundaries of medical knowledge, to the people that fund the research, and to the teams that carry out the practical procedures that result in life giving transplants. But most of all, thank you for your continuing support.

 

Sounds like I've won an Oscar! But you know that really pales into insignificance next to a transplant.


 Here's to the next decade, cheers! Love Andy.
