Fun run stresses importance of organ donor cards

JONATHAN CRAIG knows the importance of carrying an organ donor card.

Mr Craig, 27, was given a new lease of life in 2004 when he underwent a life-saving kidney transplant – thanks to an organ donor. Last weekend, he took part in the inaugural Run for a Life fun run.

The fun run, in which more than 100 people took part, was a call to action for people to carry an organ donor card, and to help raise funds for organ transplant units at Beaumont Hospital, St Vincent’s University Hospital and Mater Misericordiae hospital.
