Description

Have the yarn that could save a life.
 
This week on Stars and Stories, MJ chats with Lauren Ginders from DonateLife to clear up the confusion around organ and tissue donation. From busted myths to sobering stats — including the 50+ Aussies who die each year waiting for a transplant — this conversation is a timely reminder that donating is about more than ticking a box.
 
Lauren shares how easy it is to register online (no more relying on your driver’s license!) and why First Nations donors are vital for better transplant matches in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
 
Key takeaways:

• One donor can change or save up to 7 lives
• It takes less than 1 minute to register
• Telling your family is just as important as signing up

Listen now — and then have the conversation.
