Transplant Chats With Eliza

In the episode of the ‘Organ Donation Week’ special, we talk to the wonderful Karen who is a proud organ donation advocate.
Karen lost her husband Mark after a sudden death in 2018. At one of the most difficult moments in her life, Karen selflessly said yes to donating her husbands’ organs.
Since then, Karen has been using her experiences in a positive way to help NHS BT and ‘The Donor Family Network’ to support others.
We will be chatting about all of the above as well as Karen’s views of receiving letters from recipients who received Mark’s organs.
