Organ Donation Week is being held between Monday 19 and Sunday 25 September and you are invited to join events being held locally to raise awareness..
As part of the campaign the Organ Donation Team will be joining the Gorleston Cliffs Park Run on Saturday 24 September at 9am and they would love to see as many people as possible there.
They last joined the run in September 2019 (see above for the photo!) and will be returning to take part in 2022, with the aim of seeing a sea of pink shirts running or walking the seafront route to raise awareness about how important it is to have the organ donation conversation with your loved ones.
If you already have a pink shirt from a previous event please wear it, but there will be a few available on the day for those taking part too.
Meanwhile the Hearts and Minds Organ Donation Walk will be held at Blickling Hall in Norfolk on Sunday 18 September, just ahead of the week. There is a choice of a 5k or a 10k route in the beautiful surroundings of the Hall.
