It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share the news that my beloved Daddy has passed away at the age of 97. ❤️ Dennis Jones AGSM trained to sing at @guildhallschool with Arthur Reckless, who went on to train @Bryn_Terfel 97 years of life, love and music. Forever loved💔

This #MothersDay I think of a special lady,a lady I haven’t met but because she said yes to #organdonation when her son passed away, I live. Thinking of my donor’s Mum today & may she be given comfort from knowing that by saying yes she allowed life to live on.💕@NHSOrganDonor

Pl wish my dad a very Happy 97th Birthday. Dad won the silver medal at @guildhallschool back in the 50’s for singing where he was taught by Arthur Reckless, same tutor as @Bryn_Terfel You have had a torrid year but still like to sing when you can! #HappyBirthday

Appreciate no one knows what’s going on in someone else’s life but when dealing with the public always good to make an effort unlike @Tesco delivery driver who was not in the Christmas spirit, but hope he does as deserves to with all he does, but still awaiting refund from him!

Pl join me in wishing Happy 18th Birthday to @ellachadwick1 . It’s an absolute honour to have her as one of our 3 ambassadors at @share_wishes. A milestone for anyone is special but when you have had to fight for life these milestones are extra special. Have a super celebration.

Happy 18th Birthday to our Ambassador Ella, who has had 2 kidney transplants . 🥳 Ella’s mum Karen “To go from being told prior to transplant that Ella would not be able to be transplanted, or even survive long enough to get to transplant to Ella turning 18 today is amazing.”

Pleased to say that Kev the Kidney has shown how strong he really is. 💜 Yesterday’s results are in and Kev is back to “my normal” after a year of not being so. Forever grateful to my donor family,& all donor families, who agreed to organ donation 19yrs ago.

Off to @GSTTnhs & hope Kev the Kidney is doing well. Everyday I thank my donor & think of him, & his family & as I return to Guys the feelings I had when I received the call returns as uppermost in my thoughts was that family as we drove to London, & that continues to this day

This morning we shared Christy’s story and how she has a podcast called Chronically Christy which Christy runs as she waits for her third transplant. A few weeks ago our founder Sarah sat down with Christy and had a chat about her life. player.captivate.fm/episode/…

Sarah was born with issues affecting her bladder and her jaw/palate, but her kidneys didn’t start to be a problem until many years later. Hear how Sarah has overcome many challenges including...

This #FathersDay  I think of a special man. A man I have not met. But because he said yes to #organdonation when his son sadly passed away I am alive. Thinking of my donor’s Father today & may he be given comfort from knowing that by saying yes he allowed life to live on.💙

To sing such poignant songs arranged by @credmanlusher in front of families who saved lives just like a family saved mine was something truly special. The tears flowed as a special mention of the work @share_wishes do but all powered by the Gift of Life. ⭐️💖

4 years ago I (@share_wishes) was recognised as Exceptional Volunteer from @NHSBT & @BTStransplant, but sadly due to pandemic couldn’t accept in person. Tomorrow I’ll be at Congress in Brighton as part of @RockChoir to entertain the delegates - powered by the Gift of Life.
