You will find below links to other websites which are very
useful and will provide you with lots of information about transplants and other
related topics.
If you know of a website that should be included, please let me
know and send the details. We are trying to include a
variety of sites of interest.
As the first link is to my personal website I am
responsible for the content. I was asked to put my own
link on the FHLTA website by other members of the committee, please do
not think I am vain.
Oh alright then - I am!
My site includes lots of transplant stuff but also
contains lots of self indulgent rubbish. Please treat most
of what you read with the contempt it deserves and your tongue firmly
in cheek.
This site gives details and statistics relating to the number of
transplants performed so far this year, the size of the waiting lists
and lots more detailed donor information.
My 'Life Story' has just been added to this website.
Why not tell them yours?

competitors at the European and The World Transplant Games.

participating and interacting with other members on the site.

Helen Miller is 38 years old and in 2003 was
diagnosed with COPD. She is currently on the waiting list at the

This is her story
I shall add more sites as I discover them.
If you know of a particularly good one that will be of benefit to our
readers, please let me know.
Links are provided to the above sites in
good faith, in the hope that they may be of help and or of interest to
