Our Lifesavers campaign aims to ease the agony for thousands of people on the UK organ donor transplant list.

We aim to raise awareness of organ donation and encourage people to discuss it with their loved ones; to reopen the debate on adopting an opt-out system; and, above all, we want to recruit 20,000 new donors in our region by the end of 2010.
