Donor register target met

LifeCycle has announced that its aim of getting 1000 new donors signed up onto Malta’s organ donor register during 2010 has been exceeded, with that figure being reached last weekend during an event they held in conjunction with the Raw Bikers. “This is great news and thanks to a combined effort between ourselves and the Transplant Support Group we have achieved something that was a very ambitious target back at the start of the campaign” said Chairperson Alan Curry. The other goal was to collect €200,000 and with money still coming in the figure may yet be reached. “The money is still pouring in and we will definitely be close. We will announce the total at the end of the month before giving everything to the accountant so we can see what is left after expenses,” Alan said. “One thing is for sure – with the backing of Betfair this has proved to be one of the most, if not the most successful LifeCycle events yet.” Donations can still be made, either online or using a telephone or mobile.
