This young
man competing in the British Transplant Games, is Aaron, he was one of the four people lucky
enough to receive organs from my son, Wade, in May 2000, he calls me Maxine and refers
to me as his "Donor Mum. It was
both a pleasure and a treat to watch him running in the 100m race and he won 2
silver medals before I got to the games and I have to say it was fantastic and
I am so pleased he wants to have me in his life. We are now a Donor family . In the midst of those who have received organ donations (Gifts of Life) you will find Donor families cheering the competitors on, for me it was very emotional, knowing that Aaron was 'running like the wind' because Wade made it possible, Wade's life, although cut short, was NOT wasted he leaves a wonderful legacy and will never, ever be forgotten - Just thought I would share this!
