Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I have completed my 140km cycle around Lough Neagh(www.lapthelough.org), and i would like to thank everyone who supported me and raised money for transplants in mind.

This is a worthy cause, as it helps create awareness of the need for more organ donors. My father received a liver transplant in 2002, and i would like to raise money for transplants in mind as a thank you, for saving my dads life.

I also work in our regional Tissue Typing Lab, at the Belfast City Hospital, where we match organ donors with the patients on our transplant waiting list. From this job i see that we need a lot more organ donors, as there are over 300 patients awaiting transplant in N.Ireland, and less than 50 of those patients are transplanted each year.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Transplants in Mind gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
