Lachy Wallis was a hyperactive and cricket loving boy who was just eight years old but weeks from dying. If he did not receive a liver transplant soon he would die and his own father was being tested as a live liver donor. Then the call came that an liver donor had been found and Lachy would be able to go into an operation very soon. The news was perfect and within a few short weeks his life was saved.
Every year on average 740 recipients are saved by organ and tissue donations.Their life stories are still being written instead of being cut short. I have come to persuade you today that everybody in this room must become an organ donor.The demand for organs significantly surpasses the number of donors everywhere in the world.There are more potential recipients on waiting lists than organ donors, and sadly on average every year 100 people lose their lives because they do not receive an organ or tissue. But there are also many lives who are saved every year thanks to the selfless donations such as eight year old Lachy Wallis who was given a liver which saved his life.
Organ and tissue donations saves lives every year and Lachy Wallis' story is one of many.
And it is not only the recipients of the organs and tissues but it is also the donors of these precious gifts that have amazing stories to tell.
Many people have doubts about organ donation but don't let your religious views prevent you from doing what you know is right, problems that occur within organ donations can be stopped by you.
In conclusion becoming an organ donor is the most vital thing to do as it saves many lives every year.
