Why did you choose to Donate?
This was a simple decision for us, as we knew Ben wanted to.
As a family we had discussed organ donation. For Ben it was an easy decision; ‘If I can’t use them, why wouldn’t I give them to someone who needed them?’ It was a nice feeling knowing we were actually honouring his decision, and not just making the decision that we knew he would have wanted had we not had that conversation.
Ben's Legacy
We hope that by sharing not only Ben’s profound love of life, but also his story of donation, that others may feel inspired.
What may have felt like a small, natural choice to Ben has had an extraordinary impact. His gift has created hope where there was uncertainty, strength where there was struggle, and, for some families, more time with the people they love. In giving what he no longer needed, Ben has helped spare others the heartbreak of saying goodbye too soon.
