The aim of the Walk To End The Wait is to increase the awareness of the need for Australians who desire to donate their organs when they no longer need them, to have a conversation with their families, and register themselves.
Only one in three Australians are registered donors despite the majority (69%) believing that registering to be an organ donor is important.
There are around 1,650 Australians currently waitlisted for a transplant and more than 12,000 additional people on dialysis — many of whom may need a kidney transplant.
Now more than ever, we need more Australians to say “YES” to organ donation.
Please support my walk.
It starts in August. I might even see you on the road!
