A difficult thing to think about. Consider #paediatricorgandonation with the hope that you never experience end of life care for your child. It makes things easier to know what you would do. I get so much comfort knowing that my Ethan gave the #giftoflife 💛✨
TODAY IS ORGAN DONATION DISCUSSION DAY Our family have joined the Organ Donor Register, regardless of age. We believe that we’re ready, as a society, for a serious conversation about #PaediatricOrganDonation & hope that joining the Register as a family will become the norm.

We did it! 💛✨ A couple of friends from home joined us at the saddle for Donard and on the way back met dad along the Glen river (he joined for a bit as a surprise)! Delighted to be able to raise over £5000. Still to collect & count some sponsor forms 💕 justgiving.com/page/hikeforh… – at Toome, Northern Ireland

Millions of us could be missing out on the right antibiotic if we develop an infection because we mistakenly believe we are allergic to penicillin: More bit.ly/3rs3nGR #Penicillin #PenicillinAllergy #PenicillinAllergyDay #Allergy @MGilchrist123
