*Give To Receive 2013* / *Jay's Campaign* Hi my name is Kirsty Bylett, I have set up this blog to continue to raise awareness of the importance of Organ Donation and the impact it has. My aim is to double to number of people signed to the donor register by the end of 2013! My recent project - 'My butterfly Family' A charity set up alongside Jay's Campaign aimed to support children and parents who have lost a parent/child due to not receiving an organ transplant.
UPDATE: a newly established charity has been set up in memory of my cousin: 'My Butterfly Family' aiming to help children who has lost a parent and similarly parents who have lost a child due to not receiving their gift - an organ transplant.

*ORGAN DONATION*
Would you recieve an organ if you needed one?
IF YOU BELIEVE IN RECEIVING/DONATING AN ORGAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
According to the NHS organ donation, (2012) Only 31% of the populaion have joined the organ donor register.Within England and Wales, in 2011 there were 484,367 deaths registered.
To understand the importance of becoming an organ donor that meant there were approximatly 2906202 organs wasted in 2011 alone based on each donor providing 6 organs each. (Office for National Statistics, 2012)

My Story
***************************************************
IN 2010 MY AUNTIE LOST HER BATTLE, LATER THAT YEAR MY DEAR COUSIN WAS DIAGNOSED WITH EXACTLY THE SAME CARDIAC CONDITION.
MY COUSIN WAS ONLY 33 YEARS OLD, HAS 2 AMAZING LITTLE BOYS AND HAD SO MUCH TO FIGHT FOR.
HOWEVER, HE DIDNT RECIEVE THE HEART HE MUCH NEEDED AND SADLY SLIPPED AWAY FROM US 2-01-2013.
THE LAST FEW MONTHS OF HIS LIFE CONSISTED OF LIVING IN HOSPITAL, ON A TRANSPLANT UNIT WHICH WAS FAR FROM HOME MEANING FEW VISITORS WERE ABLE TO TRAVEL THE DISTANCE, ESPECIALLY HIS CHILDREN.
HE WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE THE HISPITAL UNTIL/IF A HEART BECAME AVAIABLE. HE WAS COVERED IN BRUISES, ON ENDLESS MEDEICATOIN, CONSTANTLY HOOKED UP TO MACHINES MEANING HE COULD NOT HAVE A BATH OR A SHOWER, SOMETHING WE DAILY TAKE FOR GRANTED.
All his pain, suffering and loneliness could have been limited if a donor heart was available! YOU CAN BE A HERO AND SAVE LIVES. #liveon

"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full--pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."
