Saturday 27th May 2006 Venue: The Centre For Life -
Newcastle. To celebrate 21 years of transplants at the Freeman Hospital we held a birthday party in the Centre for Life, Newcastle. The children had their own party in the afternoon and we adults enjoyed a meal followed by live music from the Watts 'n' Whiffin Band into the early hours. Transplant recipients were joined by staff from the Freeman, friends and family. Our President Prof John Dark, MB, FRCS, just had time to deliver his speech before he was called away to add another member to our growing transplant family. We were pleased to see Barbara Harpham and her guests from Heart Research, boogying the night away, as were all of the other partygoers. It was a lovely way to celebrate and at the same time highlight the magnificent work which is carried out by the whole team at the Freeman hospital. Our aim to promote, publicise and raise awareness for donor cards and let everyone know about the benefits of The Gift of Life was well supported by the local and national media. I even got to appear on TV with co-ordinator Lynne Holt who has been involved in the FHLTA since the very beginning in 1985. Lynne made a very good speech as she always does, as did our chairman Tony Armstrong. If you have any photographs please send them to me in Jpeg format and I will add them to those published below.
