A dad from Lancashire has been posthumously honoured for saving lives.
“It was definitely an emotional day and one to always remember and treasure in our hearts. I keep John’s award by his photo and wear it with pride. And if asked about it, I take time to explain about it and organ donation.
“It still feels like yesterday and having the recent ceremony 10 years on is a tribute to all those and their loved ones who have donated, so others could carry on and live normal lives. To have a lasting memorial is amazing, what legacies organ donors have left behind. Organ donation is the gift of life and is so special.”
Jo now chairs the Organ Donation Committee at Blackpool Victoria Hospital and has worked to create an organ donation memorial at the hospital.Anthony Clarkson, Director of Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation at NHS Blood and Transplant said: “Organ donors give the ultimate gift of life to people they will never know and it is important we recognise the difference this makes to the lives of recipients.
