DonateLife WA hosts Service of Remembrance

DonateLife WA hosted a Service of Remembrance on Sunday 15 November to honour organ and tissue donors and their families, who selflessly save and transform the lives of others.

The service was held in the lead up to 'DonateLife Thank You Day', which was on Sunday 22 November 2020.

'DonateLife Thank You Day' is a national day to acknowledge the generosity of donors and their families.

Each year thousands of lives are saved and transformed through the generosity of deceased and living organ and tissue donors and their families.

It is important to thank and acknowledge every donor and also their courageous families who honour and respect the wish of a loved one by consenting to organ and tissue donation," said A/State Medical Director, DonateLife WA Dr Simon Towler.

“On DonateLife Thank You Day, we encourage all Australians to reflect on the life-changing benefits of organ and tissue donation and to show their support by joining the Australian Organ Donor Register to one day have the chance to save lives at donatelife.gov.au – it’s easy and takes less than a minute,” he said.
