Did you know?💡

Even if you have an existing medical condition such as diabetes, you shouldn’t rule yourself out from registering to be an organ and tissue donor.

If you’re ever in a position to become a donor, a medical team will make an assessment, and there’s every chance some of your organs and tissues may be suitable for donation.

Only 2% of Australians die in a way that makes it possible for them to become a donor, so every potential donor is precious. It doesn’t matter if you think you’re not healthy enough – you can still register.

It only takes one minute to register at donatelife.gov.au ❤️

Aaron’s life changed dramatically 3 years ago when he had a kidney transplant, after a life-long battle with polycystic kidney disease.

When his kidney function dropped to 20%, Aaron needed dialysis to survive while he waited for a kidney transplant.

‘I’m grateful for dialysis, but it’s a difficult way to live. I couldn’t do many of the things I wanted to do – even walking around the block was a challenge,’ Aaron said.

Aaron received the call very early in the morning. As he and his wife Bronwen drove the hour-long journey to the hospital, they were filled with apprehension and excitement, acutely aware of the bitter-sweet moment. Aaron says he thinks of his donor every day.

‘It’s hard to find the words to say thank you. I’m going to treat this gift the best I can, each day of my life.’

This Sunday 16 November is Thank You Day – a day to acknowledge organ and tissue donors, and their families, who have helped transform the lives of thousands of Australians like Aaron.

South Perth was buzzing with energy and community spirit at the Capital Limited Breaths & Beats Ride 🚲❤️

Among the inspiring participants was transplant recipient Colleen Ashby, who proudly led team DonateLife WA alongside a passionate group of cyclists, and DonateLife volunteers and supporters. Colleen’s story is a powerful reminder of the life-changing impact organ donation can have.

The ride raised awareness and funds for the Heart and Lung Research Institute of WA, supporting research that gives hope to countless individuals and families affected by heart and lung disease.

When he was just 9-years-old, Matthew was diagnosed with a rare liver condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis. He faced countless hospital visits, tests and surgeries and now his only hope is a liver transplant.

For a long time, Matthew kept his diagnosis private. But as the wait stretched on, he realised he could use his story to help others.

‘I started talking about it because I wanted people to understand how important organ donation is. It’s not just about me, it’s about all the people waiting and the gift that organ donation is.’

As a senior high school student, Matthew helped lead his school’s Jersey Day event, raising awareness and starting conversations about donation. He also volunteers with DonateLife at community events.

Scarlett was a beautiful and caring young woman with a passion for makeup and baking. She was behind every celebration cake in her family.

At just 24, Scarlett was pursuing her dream career in marketing when she suddenly suffered an embolism and died from a heart attack.

Her family were beyond shocked and devastated by the news.

However, because of an important conversation she had with her family, she was able to give 3 people a second chance at life ❤️

‘Scarlett had told her brother that she would donate everything except her eyes because they were the windows to the soul,’ recalled Susan.

‘And her brother Chris had replied that was silly and if you’re going to donate, you might as well take the lot.’

‘Donation was the one thing from our terrible experience of losing Scarlett that made us feel good.’
