We have a Date!!!
YAY ��� We finally have a date!!! Almost 5 when years since the petition began!!
On 20th May 2020 the Opt Out Organ Donation system will be introduced in the England �
This means all adults considered to have had capacity will be considered organ donors unless they've opted out.
96% of the UK population are in favour of organ donation, yet only 36% of people are signed up to the current organ donor register.
The sad reality is people who are suitable donors usually die suddenly in for example an accident. Often families consulted say No to donation, not because they disagree with it, but they don't know what their loved one would've wanted.
I believe the minority not in favour of organ donation are more likely to make the effort to opt out than the 60% of people in favour of organ donation who haven't yet signed up are to sign up.
But please also tell your loved ones your wishes ❤ it's so important they know so they can carry out your wishes.
Here's some info on the new law (Max & Keira's Law) coming in, make an informed choice about whether you wish to become an organ donor.
Thank you for everyone's support - we wouldn't have got this far without you. You're all incredible
