Title: Australian Organ Donor Awareness Week
Post by: Falkenbach on February 17, 2008, 07:25:52 PM

..... this week!

I was invited to a rose planting ceremony on the weekend, which we attended, organised by the South Australian Organ Donor Agency.

Wish this Awareness Week was better promoted, though. All involved do an excellent job, no doubt, but I guess it's difficult with all the other things out there competing for attention.

I am going to attempt to post Charee's article.......
I couldn't get a pic large enough to read without being too big. So here it is in PDF form. I hope this works. Mods please remove if you have too.

Thanks Charee, but I didn't do anything. Just got an invite (which I figure goes to all donors and recipients in SA) and attended the ceremony!

I will go and have a look at your article now!

Sadly, organ donation needs more attention everywhere in the world. As has been pointed out to me, however, it's hard to compete for attention when everyone has their hand out.

Glad both cyco and charee were able to take part, though!
