Give the gift of life - be an organ donor!

To view a short video, click here.

My Gift of 8 campaign was inspired by Fr Dave. Gift of 8 means you can save up to 8 lives as an organ donor and up to 75 lives as tissue donor as well. Please click here and you can view frequently asked questions under About Donation and then click on the button Register or Check now. You can check if you are registered and if not, to register to give the gift of life. It only takes 2 minutes and all you need is your health card and DOB. Our good friend Fr Dave would not be here if it wasn't for the donor who made the decision to donate and gave Fr Dave a second chance.

Don't take your organs to Heaven, Heaven knows we need them here.
