My biggest joy is the ability to see my 2 grandchildren.

Because of my corneal grafts, I was able to see my grandchildren being born and watch them grow up.

It is hard to explain just how happy our family are to see Adam well and enjoying life.

Donation meant that we had Nicole for another 10 years. Nicole’s gift to 2 people means they now have more time to enjoy all that new sight can bring.

I was facing my own death as I was degrading so quickly. I couldn’t even shower without help. I was totally helpless.

It’s a very selfless act, to become a donor, and for the family to decide to go ahead with the donation... I definitely wouldn’t be here, were it not for a donor.

No matter how tough things get, I always remind myself to enjoy every extra day and make the most of this second chance.

Being on death’s door makes you realise you’re not going to live forever. You realise what’s important.

Words can’t express how grateful I am to that donor. They gave me nothing short of a second life.

"Words cannot express the gratitude I feel to the unintentional hero who saved my life, and kept my family together”.
