This time last Wednesday Scarlett had just taken The One Show by storm, along with some of my fellow transplantee friends who were supporters of the Organ donation feature on the show who held up placards in the audience to display how many years they had been transplanted, hopefully you can still catch it on the link below:

It was also the day Samantha's petition ended, but thankfully not my time working with her as she will continue to support the campaign even if it is not with her own petition.
A week later and we have hit 2700 on this petition and collectively Tracey and myself are now at: 73,500!!! Whoop whoop.
I also was delighted yesterday to be asked chat live to Sue on BBC Radio Wiltshire about the life changing experience of transplantation and Organ & Tissue donation as part of their celebration of the 48th (I know a random anniversary to celebrate) anniversary of the first ever UK heart transplant, and my opinion on the Opt Out system!
If you would like to listen feel free to tune in from 2hrs 12 minutes in:

As usual please do keep bringing this topic up in conversation as raising awareness and educating people goes hand-in-hand with sharing this petition! Also if you have not yet expressed your wishes to your loved ones regarding your views on organ donation please do and then ensure you know theirs.
Kindest regards
Lucy Ryan
