Would you accept an organ to live?
If the answer is yes, then surely you would want to give an organ to help save someone else?
This site is in honour of Laura Hamilton.
Give2Live has been set up to help raise awareness about how easy it is for people to sign up as organ donors. There are currently over 9,000 people in need of a transplant, with 14,738,613 registered donors in the UK to date, out of a population of over 60 million. This is just 24% of the population.
Statistically you are more likely to be in need of a transplant than to become an organ donor.
Please consider becoming an organ donor, talk the decision over with your families first.

We are happy to report that since our campaign began on 4th September 2007 to 14th January 2008 a massive 5524 people have registered as Organ Donors in the BN Postcodes alone...!!!
We are also working towards getting the law in the UK changed to the Presumed Consent system. With Presumed Consent, everyone is automatically included in the donor system unless they specifically opt out.
