And, while I've got your attention, check out This Story of a young CF mother waiting for her double lung transplant...we're not the only ones with a powerful story to tell!
I am on the british NHS organ donor register and have been since before I was even in high school! I think I shocked my Mum slightly when I was around 10 and told her that if I died I wanted her to make sure that my organs would be donated to someone who needed them.

Meet The cfhusband
My name is Nathan. My wife, Tricia has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and had been preparing for a double lung transplant until we discovered we were pregnant. Surviving a premature birth, double lung transplant and lymphoma is just the beginning of our story. Tricia is the most incredible person I've ever met. She keeps me humble and in love. Gwyneth is our beautiful daughter, born 15+ weeks early, weighting just 1lb 6oz. Tricia is now breathing with the help of donated lungs, and Gwyneth is on her way out of the NICU and into our hearts. This is our story from my perspective...
Please, take a moment to visit Tricia's Web Site and read about her life and journey with CF. I would appreciate it beyond words.

I "lego" one of my organs 4 years ago, and the rest are ready to go when I do.
What a great cartoon! I saw it on Evas and sent it on to everyone I knew!
That story broke my heart. It was such a real depiction of CF it just took my breathe away.

I have signed my organ donor card and my family knows my intentions. I want them to uses as many as they can.
And thanks for sharing that story. I'll be sure to send you the next part of her story when it's posted.
Any news on 65 Roses, Eva? You got me hooked on the blog awhile ago but she hasn't posted in a few days. I'm praying everything is ok. kara
