This is my 3,000 post on this great website and I would like to dedicate this post to Pam and other persons who also need organ transplants. I was at the Sub bar last Saturday night. On the tables were Donor cards. I brought one home with me and have since signed the card as has my Mrs. up to then I would never have thought of carrying a card. For those IK site members who were not at the venue last Saturday night and who would like to become organ donors you can get involved online and fill out an application to become a donor at http://www.ika.ie/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=50
I have an organ doner card and I donate blood and have donated platelets also.I always try to encourage others to donate blood since my old man got sick when the blood stock was low.It is so little effort and it makes a big difference.
Yeah same here mate, I donate blood every 3 months,. I wanted to donate platelets, but mine are fairly useless, It works backwards to blood,. I have O negative blood, so i was told its just better to donate that instead,. I dont have a doner card though, I may get one,.
Please carry a donor card. In my job we deliver to people with renal failure and cystic fibrosis everyday and I see the hardship they have to endure. You can also tick the box on the back of your driving licence to become a donor.
I keep meaning to do this, but never do Thanks for posting Lionel. I'm going to fill out the form now.
I don't carry an organ donar card but I think the system should work in reverse. It should be presumed unless you have a card stating otherwise , that you are willing to donate your organs once you pass because lets face it we don't need them once we're gone.
