Organ Donation
Bodie became an organ donor at just 10 months old and saved or improved the lives of other children. He donated his liver, bowel and heart valves to four other babies giving them and their families another chance at life.
Knowing that Bodie had given others a chance to have a future and lead a normal life inspired us to continue his legacy.

All adults in England are now considered to have agreed to be an organ donor when they die unless they have recorded a decision not to donate or are in one of the excluded groups.
You still have a choice if you want to be an organ donor or not when you die. For more information visit the website below.
Did you know your family can overturn your decision?
Each year, hundreds of opportunities for transplants are missed because families aren’t sure what to do. Your family will always be consulted about whether you wanted to be an organ donor or not, and clinicians will never proceed with organ donation if your family or loved ones object.
If you want to donate
If you want to be an organ donor after you die, it’s really important that you talk to your loved ones and make sure they understand and support your organ donation decision. You can also register your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
If you don’t want to donate
If you decide not to become an organ donor, you can still help your family through a difficult time by talking to them about your organ donation decision now, and making sure they know what you want. You can also register your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
