The Peterborough Chapter of the OETSG opened its "doors" in April following a successful launch at The Holiday Inn, Peterborough. As expected there have been a number of people have come forward to meet with the new group.
They represent both donor families, recipients and those waiting for transplant.
Shirley who is leading the new Chapter hopes to reach out to anyone in the Peterborough area who is pre or post transplant or a member of a donor family and offer support and information. Presentations about giving the Gift of Life are available on request by contacting Shirley.
