@Morton1867 My 3 year old died last year, little Oscie. For a while I used to use the words ‘passed away’ etc, but he did die, so I say he died. I can’t remember what language was used in the PICU at the time, however they were the most compassionate and caring people.
On this day in 2012 Connor Saunders' life was cruelly cut short by one punch – a senseless act of violence. Connor, at the age of 16, had signed the #OrganDonor register & thanks to that selfless decision of Connor's he went on to initially save 5 lives ❤

I had stopped using Team Oscar platforms for a while, but will be back using his Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter to raise more organ donation awareness and share Oscars story❤️
Let’s catch up - for the last 6ish weeks, 2 years post heart transplant, Oscar has been fighting two episodes of acute rejection 💔 thankfully Oscar and his donor heart have been SO strong and he’s recovering well. (More details of this experience on his Instagram) #organdonation
Between 1 April 2015 - 29 Feb 2020: 849 families said no to organ donation because they were unsure whether their loved one would have agreed.
80% of people support organ donation. Yet, 39% have shared their decision.
1 donor can save 9 lives.
