 Moorilla Hobart International – Domain Tennis Centre,

No one likes to talk about death, so Let's Talk About Life! I love to talk about life and make plans. I am not one to let opportunities pass me by, for there is no certainty I'll walk up tomorrow. We're great at making plans to achieve our dreams but fail messably to talk to significant others about our final hours on earth and our wishes after we're.

Yet of a percentage of us death is sudden. These deaths are often cause by sudden death of the brain, when their a few hours left of life in our body. This is a terrible situation for anyone to face.  The shock and grief are hard to get your head around. Sadly it is at this time you be approach to give the gift of life to others. While we can't prepare for such tragic loss of life, we can prepare or brace for the question, 'have you thought about organ donation?'.

If as a family you have already discuss this and decided, the questioned has already answered.  Sadly, there are 100's of people around Australia on transplants list, waiting and hoping for a phone call to offer them The Gift of Life. No body wants to talk about dying or even our own mortality, but taxes and death are about the only two certainties in life. Sure its better to have a conversation about organ donation with out the stress cause by immediate loss of a love one.

Sure you might never be asked the question, however someone, somewhere is asked everyday, have you thought about organ donation. The window of time is ticking every time someone is asked that question and there is 100's of families praying someone will give life in a terrible moment of loss. For information on how to have these discussion and to answer any concern you have visit the Donate Life Website.

Australia still one of the lowest rate of organ donations in the world. Events such as  Game, set and match raise the awareness of the need to talk about organ donation. So that makes tomorrow a great opportunity to Talk Life!
