The Silkmen kicked off a life-saving campaign alongside every other club in The Football League at their final home game of the season by urging supporters to join the NHS Organ Donor Register (ODR).

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP NOW!

The appeal, backed by The Football League, coincides with the 40^th anniversary of the UK's first heart transplant which took place on 3 May, 1968. The aim is to boost the number of people signing up to the ODR, a confidential database of over 15.2 million people who have pledged to help give the gift of life to others after their own death.

Last year in the UK over 3,200 people received an organ transplant, but the number of people on the transplant waiting list rose to over 9,000. Sadly, around 1,000 people die each year needing a transplant. If more people registered as organ donors more lives could be saved. You may already have an organ donorcard. However it can get lost or damaged. To make sure people know what your wishes are you need to join the NHS Organ Donor Register and tell your friends and family about your decision.

This is your chance to join and maybe save a life one day.

Joining the register is easy. Just text 'GIVE' to 84118*, visit https://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/Consent.do?campaign=1610 or call the Organ Donor Line on 0845 60 60 400.
