Lucy talks about why she made the decision to register as a donor.

I want to share why I made the decision to register as an organ donor. Being Black, I’ve learned that patients like me often face longer waits for transplants. The NHS says it’s about a year longer for a kidney transplant. So, I thought, why not make a difference? If I can increase the chances of someone from my ethnic background finding a match, maybe even save a life, that’s huge. I know some people in my community might have reservations or misconceptions about organ donation. It’s really important to get all the facts for yourself. We can make a real impact by having more conversations and making informed choices.
