Helen is back on her feet after transplant and wants more organ donors to sign up, UK

Paisley Daily Express | Lynn Jolly

A LIVER transplant survivor yesterday gave her support to a new campaign to encourage more people to sign up as organ donors.

Helen Lang, 51, from Johnstone, was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and left stunned when doctors said her liver had essentially “packed up” and her only chance of survival was a transplant.

Her life was saved by getting a liver transplant from an anonymous donor and her hard-hitting message to Paisley Daily Express readers is: “If you would be willing to take a transplant, you should be willing to donate.”
