Wow - you guys have done it AGAIN! We now have surged past the 700th signature mark. You really are truly amazing as it is down to every single one of you that this petition is continuing to steadily grow.
I had hoped to attach the snippets from the radio interview I did last week, however they are not in a form compatible with change.org at the moment - if I can post them I will.
As of today 1211 people have recieved transplants since 1st April 2015, but 6946 are still waiting. If the raate of transplantation was to remain at it's current rate and the number waiting not change (which we all know if highly unlikely as people joining th waiting list or become too ill waiting to receive a transplant anymore daily). But if the rate remained as it is then by the end of the year (31st March 2016) 3180 transplants will have been carried out, but 3766 would still be waiting. This is why we need this system in place ASAP to minimise the number of people left waiting, as the waiting game is not a fun one by any stretch of the imagination.
I know I always ask this but it is because it is SO important to our continued success - please do keep SHARING you really are making a difference.
I cannot thank you enough for all your support.
Kindest regards
Lucy Ryan
