Below is a kind note that was received by The Alliance by Reg Green – The Alliance thought others would enjoy it!

I’m often told organ donation is too remote a subject to interest the public, too depressing, too cold. It isn’t.

For one thing, it’s one of the few subjects of any kind that has a truly universal range. Anyone might need a transplant, even a world-class athlete. Anyone might have to decide whether or not to donate a loved one’s organs. And anyone might know someone on the waiting list who will die without a transplant.

If you doubt this, please see the attachment from the World Transplant Congress earlier this month. It shows Janice Whaley, CEO of Donor Network West   (she’s the one on the right!) and me, now 96, the father of  a famous donor (nicholasgreen.org.)

How’s that for range?
