In the event of death, families give final consent for organ donation, so whether you’ve signed the register or not, it’s very important to talk to your loved ones. #OrganDonationWeek.

Our next one to watch. Ellie Lacey couldn’t wait to get back to running after her transplant. Her passion for running includes organising an international marathon in Uganda. She now can't wait for the WTG, supported by her new baby boy (and mascot) Otto! Good luck Ellie!

On average three people die every day in need of an organ transplant because there just aren’t enough organ donors. The decision to donate organs is made by families and loved ones. That’s why I pledge to #HaveTheChat & nominate my friends to do the same x

In year ending 31st March 2018 a record 1575 remarkable people and their selfless families consented to save lives through organ donation, the highest number of donors in a year in the UK ever. They bought life and hope to those waiting for a transplant - we sincerely thank them.
