Ralph Tatum urgently needs a multi-organ transplant.
Katie and Graham Tatham have launched a campaign to encourage child organ donation as they hope for a donor for their three-year-old son Ralph
NHS figures show that, in 2021/22, 52% of families gave consent for their child’s organs to be donated, resulting in 40 organ donors under the age of 18.A new campaign has been launched called Consider This, led by NHS Blood and Transplant and marketing agency Wunderman Thompson . “Having your child be on the list for an organ transplant and then waiting each day in hope for a call is torture.
Angie Scales, NHS Blood and Transplant lead nurse for paediatric donation, said: “For many children on the transplant waiting list, their only hope is the parent of another child saying ‘yes’ to organ donation at a time of immense sadness and personal grief, yet families tell us that agreeing to organ donation can also be a source of great comfort and pride.
