Beth's Ninth Anniversary - 30th September 2022 10.39am

Once again with Covid still not gone we had to celebrate Beth’s anniversary without any friends in attendance. We knew that many of Beth’s friends and family were releasing her balloons all over the country and abroad.

It always brings great comfort to read the warmth and support that pours out from all Beth’s friends who have not forgotten her. This year we read so many lovely and heart felt tributes to Beth.

There is so much work still going on regarding Organ Donation and the most important thing is for people to discuss their wishes with their family so should anything happen, your family will have the resolve to agree to organ donation if that is your wish.

The Law has changed, and we now have an “opt out System.”

The opt out system

Now that the law has changed, it will be considered that you agree to become an organ donor when you die, if:

• you are over 18;
• you have not opted out;
• you are not in an  excluded group.

You still have a choice whether or not you want to become an organ donor and can register or amend your decision at any time.

We are now planning a major celebration for Beth’s 10th anniversary where we hope that we can have most of her friends around us.

Please do keep talking and discussing organ donation.
