Glamorgan helps catch vital organ donors
Jun 23 2008 by Madeleine Brindley, Western Mail
GLAMORGAN Cricket Club has adopted the new Welsh organ donation campaign as its official charity partner for the season.
The Dragons, who began their Twenty20 campaign against Warwickshire earlier this month, will display the Donate Wales – Tell a Loved One logo at the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff.
The club will also urge its supporters to think about registering as an organ donor and talk to their family about their wishes.
Cricket manager Matthew Maynard said: “As a community-led club Glamorgan Cricket understands the importance of such a life-saving campaign.
“We urge all our supporters to discuss their organ donation wishes with their families and friends and join the Organ Donor Register.”
Roy J Thomas, chairman of the Kidney Wales Foundation and the Donate Wales campaign, said: “Glamorgan Cricket Club is one of the best supported sides in Wales and their support of the Tell a Loved One campaign is invaluable in raising awareness."
