ANYONE on Facebook could tell you that there has been something special going on over the past week.
Will Chapman, his family and friends are conducting a social media campaign to raise awareness about organ donation.
The A Gracious Gift campaign has seen hundreds of local Facebook users change their profile picture to one sharing the message ‘Register to Become an Organ Donor’.
Will, who is on the donor waiting list for a heart and lungs, is encouraging people to register to become an organ donor and help save lives.
“As you can see my immediate family has adjusted their profile pictures in the last week to a picture dedicated to improving advocacy for organ donation within Australia,” he explained on Facebook.
“For those who don't know my life, as of late, has been revolved around waiting for a heart and double lung transplant.
“I ask that all of my Facebook friends, despite if we are close or not, adjust your profile picture and cover photo for one week only.
“I then ask you send on a message to the entirety of your Facebook friends insisting they do the same.
“Please make the effort to do this.”
