Organ Donation

Charlene was just 20 when she tragically died from Cystic Fibrosis. A lung disease which severely limits the lives of hundreds of young people in Northern Ireland every year. 

Many with Cystic Fibrosis are not expected to live beyond their 40’s, unless they receive a lung transplant.

THis photo was taken on the 10th April 2010, the day Charlene was told she was back on the Organ donor list for a double lung transplant.

The transplant didn't come, and she died on the 31st October that same year.
