Donna’s Dream is setting its sights on Charity Status! UK

Donna's Dream | AZMansell

On July 14th 2010 I set Donna’s Dream up as a campaign for more organ donors in memory of my wife Donna who sadly past away 12 days earlier waiting for her third heart transplant. The campaign included a petition for an opt out organ donor register which generated a lot of signatures and a lot of press.

18 months on and the opt out campaign is heading to deadline in Wales and they are now campaigning in Scotland. Richard Branson has also vented his interest in opt out within the UK which leads me to believe that he may start his own campaign soon.

Whilst all this was going on something else was happening. Donnas Dream was becoming a vibrant community of like-minded people who had all been through similar experiences. We now have a group of regular contributors who are always willing to help and get involved.

This got me to thinking. Donna’s Dream is much bigger than a campaign that may or may not succeed. If Branson has his way and starts a campaign it will dwarf ours anyway. We can use our time more productively and make a difference in other ways. And that we will!
