SIR,

As a transplant recipient who treasures every day because of the gift of life that I have been given by two organ donors, I would very much like to praise the Health Minister Edwina Hart for her funding of The Kidney Wales Foundation's new organ donor advert.

I am one of the lucky ones, who has been given a second chance of life through organ donation.  Not everyone in Wales is this fortunate and many people die whilst waiting for a donor organ to become available to them. 

It is now down to the people of Wales, to show their support by joining the organ donor register and in doing so offer the  chance of life to the hundreds of people on waiting lists in desperate need of a transplant.  If they do, then so many more lives can be saved.
