A Bradford Bulls player is supporting a campaign to get more members of the Black and Asian community to sign the organ donor register.
Chev Walker was at a Bradford shopping centre with NHS staff and a local transplant patient.
The NHS said only 2% of people on the register are of Black or Asian origin.
According to NHS figures, more than 60% of the people waiting for an organ transplant in Bradford are from the Asian or Black community.
