Stories of Hope

Andrew Saunders

“It was really emotional knowing that I was getting this second chance at life. You wait for so long for that call and finally it had come, it was incredible.”

As a young father, Andrew Saunders had everything to live for. But almost a decade ago, a shock diagnosis of advanced kidney disease was to turn his whole life upside down.

Naomi Stocks

"Without a doubt, I wouldn’t have the life or family I have without organ donation and the NHS Organ Donor Register"

Naomi Stocks, 30 from Edinburgh, underwent a successful liver transplant in 2004 after sustaining liver damage as a result of an unexpected illness. Her condition was so severe the first she knew of her transplant was when she woke up after her operation.

Grant McCabe

“It’s really helped us to know that Grant has helped other people live.”

It’s something no family should have to go through.  But when Grant McCabe passed away suddenly from a brain haemorrhage aged just 40, his dad Brian, mum Muriel and partner Liz Walker were in no doubt what they should do.
