THIS nine-year-old boy from Lucan is living proof of the pro-foundly positive impact organ donation can have.
Brave Luke Concannon (9) received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor just over a year ago.
Now, his mum Karen, who is a board member of the Irish Kidney Association (IKA), is encouraging people to speak with their family about their organ dona-tion wishes.
“Organ dona-tion can and does change lives,” Karen said. “Many people don’t realise the impor-tance of it until they are affected like we have been,
so we want to take this opportunity to strongly encourage people to carry a donor card.”
More than 100 children have benefited from life changing kidney transplantations at Temple Street Children’s Hospital since 2003.
Dr Atif Awan, Consultant Pae-diatric Nephrologist at Temple
Street, said an increas-ing number of generous people carry organ donor cards.
“We are aware of the difficult decision a
donor family has had to make, at a most distress-
ing time, but we see the hugely positive impact this decision
has on the lives of our patients,” he said.
