Thank you so much for all your immense support so far be it signing or signing and sharing everyone of you is instrumental in the campaign.
I was starkly reminded how fortunate I have been after watching "Gift of Life" 10pm on Wednesdays on Channel 5 the past few weeks. Not only is the window of oppurtunity a potential recipient is well enough to receive a successful organ transplant is so slim - there's a very fine line between being too well for a transplant, suitable and too ill. The longer people are waiting the more likely they'll have an infection when that call comes that means they cannot take the organ. And this is even if they have been deemed suitable for the list as you can be considered too well, perhaps lead a life significantly affected by e.g. heart disease but not enough to warrant a transplant. Or you maybe ill enough but not physically fit enough to be get through surgery, so can even need to get fitter and follow a healthy diet to get onto the list as ironic as that sounds.
Please feel free to take a watch:

So with less than a month until Wales becomes Soft Opt-out I want to maximise the number of people we can off the list through successful transplant because donors have been thoughtful and brave enough to donate their organs and tissue. Therefore we won't be tailing Wales for long.
We have just over 350 signatures until we meet out 2500 target. If we all sign now and only two more people sign we will have 6468 signatures in total. Let's Do This!
Kindest regards
Lucy Ryan
