Organ donation. The gift of life.

As you read this more than 9,000 people are in desperate need of an organ transplant. Around 400 of them will die this year and many more will lose their lives before they are registered for a transplant.

But you can help. Think about whether you want to give the gift of life and help someone live after your death. And if you do, join the NHS Organ Donor Register. You can find out more and register by visiting www.uktransplant.org.uk or by calling the Organ Donor Line on 0845 60 60 400. It takes just a few minutes.

Even if you have a donor card you should join the register to make sure your wishes are recorded. The more people who join the register, the more lives could be saved.

Black and South Asian people are more likely to need a transplant than most - and patients stand a better chance of survival if organs come from someone of the same ethnic group.  So it's important for everyone to join the register.

Remember - tell someone about it

It's really important to discuss your decision with those closest to you so they know your wishes should the time ever come.

Sign up now. Give hope to the thousands of people waiting for a transplant.

We would like to thank << company name >> for giving you this chance to be a life-saver.

When Shohanna was just two-and-a-half she had a liver transplant that saved her life. Now six years old, little Shohanna likes dancing, running and painting rainbows.

Will you consider helping someone like Sammi and Shohanna?
