Offaly family counts its blessings as three sisters receive transplantsAugust is a very significant month in the life of Clareen native, Phil Molloy. It was the month she received her life-saving kidney transplant and exactly a year to the date later her adored first grandchild was born! This year’s awareness campaign is built around the theme Share your Wishes about organ donation #ShareYourWishes. The key message is that members of the public can play their part in supporting organ donation for transplantation by ensuring that their families know their wishes. Individuals who wish to support organ donation are encouraged to keep the reminders of their decision available by carrying the organ donor card, permitting Code 115 to be included on their driver’s licence or having the ‘digital organ donor card’ App on their smartphone.
