Most of us would accept an organ if we needed one, so why not register to donate yours.
There are currently 8,683 people in the UK waiting for a transplant. And the reality is that some will die or become too ill to receive a transplant. Which is why it is so important you register your decision and speak to your family about your wishes.
One person donating after their death can provide life-saving transplants for up to 9 recipients; restore eyesight for up to 4 people; and prevent another 6 people from going blind. They can also transform lives of a further 40 people through transplanting heart valves, tendon, ligaments, bone or blood vessels and in many cases lives are saved after severe burns by having donated skin grafts. Donation after death is an incredible gift.
