I WOULD like to ask all students heading off to university in the coming weeks to make a life-saving decision as they begin a new phase in their lives, become a superhero and save a life.
Thousands of students are leaving home for university for the first time this term and UK Transplant will be joining them.
Our Superhero roadshow will visit freshers' fairs at 14 universities around the country inviting students to join the NHS Organ Donor Register.
More than 9,000 people need a transplant and although more than 3,000 operations took place last year, around 400 people died while waiting.
To find out more about organ donation or join the register call the Organ Donor Line on 0845 60 60 400 or visitwww.uktransplant.org.uk ANGIE BURTON, Marketing and Campaigns Manager, UK Transplant, Bristol.
