Fun run to raise awareness of organ donation

LITTLE Laura McDowell loves her jigsaws, her books, her toy kitchen and her aunt who gave her the gift of life.

The two-and-a-half year old toddler received a section of liver donated by her mum’s sister, Deirdre O’Gorman, a Wicklow-based GP, a year ago.

Yesterday Laura and her mum, Aoife O’Gorman, joined television and radio presenters playing their part in highlighting organ donation in the Phoenix Park, Dublin.
