The Gift Of Life:

Exactly one year ago today, I received my third liver transplant. It was a day of hope, nerves and excitement.

What? A week to celebrate, promote and give thanks to all organ, blood, tissue, bone marrow and stem cell donors. A week dedicated to raising awareness of donations, transplants and the wonderful Gift of Life. Read More »

A Night of Celebration and Promoting Organ Donation

Who: Live Loudly Donate Proudly will be hosting this event for anybody who wants to come along, just get your ticket and come join in the fun!

What: This is a Gala Dinner, there will be food, music by Altagore, speeches and a raffle. It will be a wonderful night!

When: Thursday 8th September 2016 at 7pm

Where: At the Tullyglass House Hotel in Ballymena.

Why: We are holding this event in order to promote and celebrate the amazing gift of organ donation. The primary purpose of the event is not to fundraise, but any money that is raised, will be split between the Transplant Sport charity and the Northern Ireland Transplant Association. These are both hugely important charities for recipients and donor families, and it means a lot to have that kind of support, so we wanted to do anything we can to help them give it.
