On behalf on NHS UK Transplant, I'd like to say a huge thank you to all your readers who have pledged to help others to live after their death.
Six months ago, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the NHS Organ Donor Register, we launched a nationwide challenge to encourage a million more people to let their loved ones know their wishes and add their names to the register.
Already 546,574 people have said they want to leave a legacy of life to others by donating organs and tissue for transplantation after their death. More than 12.1m people 20 per cent of the population have now signed up to save lives.
To find out more call the Organ Donor Line on 0845 6060400 or visit www.uktransplant.org.uk
Be remembered. For life.
