Just a quick blog to remind you why I am doing my gift of life campaign and fighting for all the people on the transplant waiting list.... please watch this montage (made by Emily T) of Jessica Wales who I had the pleasure of meeting a few weeks back. She is in desperate need of a life-saving double lung transplant, with out which she will die. If this doesn't inspire you to sign the Organ Donor Register I don't know what will! This is a day in the life of Jessica....

About Me
- Holly
- My name's Holly Shaw and I'm 22 years old... I recently graduated from my Early Childhood Studies Degree and now work as a Qualified Nursery Nurse which I love. At the beginning of 2005 I was diagnosed with Kidney failure and dialysed 3 x a week for 4 years. I received my new kidney on 25th October 2008. It truly is the gift of life and thanks to the generosity of my donor and their family I will be able to fulfill some of my dreams. I am passionate about raising awareness of the chronic shortage of Organ Donors in the UK. I am a Trustee for the transplant charity Live Life Then Give Life and run my own campaign called The Gift of Life. My family are a huge support to me, I am truly grateful and love them lots, but it is thanks to my Donor I am here to do all this x
I am proud to be the North West Advocate for
Be a Hero: Put the Kettle on! And while you are at it, sign up to the Organ Donor Register
