Donate Life Week 2013

Today heralds the beginning of DonateLife  Week 2013

Untitled It just so happens that this has been the most significant one for me as I'm still in hospital recovering from my bilateral lung transplant.

Untitled
I'm not going to lie. It's been the most difficult challenge of my entire life, and I still have a very long way to go towards recovery (probably twelve months).

Untitled
A I am ever so grateful to the beautiful family who donated lungs so that I now have the chance at a new life Untitled



Today also marks the beginning of the Life Flashes exhibition. All of the photos are on display in the corridor between the courtyard and the carpark at the Alfred Hospital.

Untitled Winners will be announced officially next Sunday at the DonateLife Event in Lygon St.

A huge thankyou to everyone who entered.

Please enjoy the beautiful heart mosaics from our instagram challenge last month!
