Right guys need your help , not totally stuck for what to say , but give me your imput on this .I belong to a site for Bikers who in June are running a organ donor awareness scheme and giving out stickers for helmets , saying that this person is a donor etc. So i wrote to thank them for doing this and wished them luck with it. I have got an email back asking me if i can attend , which sadly i cant but ALSO would i like to give them a few words about the organ donor scheme from my perspective. I know i am in the UK but organ donation is organ donation , so i would like to give them a good reply ..help me please with this and i will take the best comments and pass them on . :2thumbsup;

Probably not from your perspective, but what about something that points out that being a donor doesn't slow the donar down. It seems like fear of lifestyle changes might be a reason people won't donate. The bikers are out there showing the world that their lives continue with the same gusto after the donation.

Usually an organ donor who is a biker doesn't keep going.  They are dead!  I think the bikers are saying they have signed their organ donor card so that if they are in an accident they are to be considered donors.  Very honorable of them.

I would write back and say.  "On the behalf of 80,000 people waiting..... we thank you!"

oops! Silly me! I was thinking about living donors.

I don't know anything about bikers except that they seem to have a "tough" reputation on tv shows. If there's any truth to that, how about "you're tough enough to ride, are you tough enough to donate?"

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but you say something like.   "Ride Hard, have fun. Ride together, Donate so that others may ride too."    Adjel

I could be the poster boy for this one!

"Before you go on your next trip, sign your donor card, You never know!"

I would tell them thank you from all of us!
