I would think the greatest Mothers Day Gift for Darren Cawley's Mum would be the call from Beaumont Hospital that I received 15 years ago this May that changed my life calling me for my kidney transplant. Darren was on Ireland AM this morning tirelessly promoting the cause of organ donation again. He is a credit to his family and to everybody who is waiting for an organ transplant.
He has just won the title Local Hero and there has never been a more worthy title for this person. As part of his prize, he won €10,000 which he has donated to the European Transplant and Dialysis Games in Dublin later this year, and at which he hopes to compete.Who despite being on dialysis 4 times a week never stops promoting this cause and spending time educating people on the problems of kidney failure and how important it is to carry an organ donor card. I tip my hat to him and hope that he will soon get that important call that will change his life. There is nobody as deserving.
If you are looking for information on how to get an organ donor card please just contact the Irish Kidney Association at http://www.ika.ie/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=50
You are definitely a hero Darren,
