My Story

I nearly died in 2017. But a liver transplant saved my life.

This wasn’t the first time I had come close to the edge though. Depression and mental illness have been part of my battle and journey to survive, after being given a life-altering diagnosis at 17.

I was told that I had an incurable disease. had stage 4 cirrhosis (end stage liver disease), I would be on medication (including steroids) for the rest of my life. I would never be able to have children. I would never be able to get life insurance. And by 30 I would need a liver transplant or be dead.

I left the hospital that day and decided I would try never to have regrets. Live every day as if it might be my last. Drink. Take drugs. Live life, because realistically I wasn’t worth saving, and so a transplant wouldn’t happen for me. I didn’t deserve one. I was broken and a failure.

15 years later and I had changed my mind. I realised that I shouldn’t have been told what I was the way it was. I should have had support. Things could have been different. I wanted things to be different. I made a vow. I will not stop until children grow up knowing about organ transplant, and organ donation is the norm, not out of a legal law, but out of choice.

“My life was saved by a young lady who died of brain stem death. I don’t know if she had chosen to be an organ donor or her family made that decision., But, I have a rare blood type and without their choice, I could quite easily be dead.

I can never thank her or them.

Instead, I will aim to help reduce the shortage of organs available by working to improve education.”
