Special edition newsletter focussing on the recent Service of Thanksgiving
Chief Minister Jon Stanhope today reminded Canberrans of the importance of organ and tissue donation in saving lives.
For the next six weeks Australians will find themselves being encouraged to discuss their wishes about organ and tissue donation with their family.
Gift of Life President urges all Australians to have the discussion.
A new survey shows Canberra residents are more likely to know their loved one's favourite drink or music preference than their wish to be an organ and tissue donor.
The DonateLife™ Family public awareness program aims to help people like Canberra mother of two, Liz Fowler, who was struck down by kidney failure and is desperately waiting for an organ or tissue transplant.
