As a recipient of an organ transplant I can only encourage people to sign up. Without the organ donation system I would be dead many years ago. Ironically, because I am a recipient I cannot be a donor.

Signed up about 4 years ago I think.

Thanks for the links, interesting reading!

Thanks Daglanman- where did you get your wonderful gift?

Via the Royal Free in Hamstead - April 2007 and yes the best gift I ever had.
