      <title><![CDATA[Chev Walker Urges shoppers to Sign the Organ Donor Register]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>
	Bradford Bulls rugby league player <strong>Chev Walker</strong> will be at the city&rsquo;s Kirkgate Shopping Centre on <strong>Saturday 14 January, </strong>encouraging more people from Black and Asian communities to sign up to the NHS Organ Donor Register (ODR).</p>
<p>
	<img alt="image" src="uploads/images/organ_doners_1.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 239px" /></p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<strong><a href="http://alturl.com/3qq52" target="_blank">During the event Chev will pledge his support for NHS Blood and Transplant&rsquo;s drive to increase the number of registrations from ethnic minority communities by signing the ODR himself.</a></strong></p>
<p>
	&nbsp;&ldquo;The statistics are shocking. Black and Asian people are three times more likely to need a transplant, yet there is a serious shortage of people from these communities on the Organ Donor Register.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;As soon as I heard about the campaign I made the decision to join the Register. Knowing that one day I may be able help someone who needs a transplant, made me realise it&rsquo;s the right decision. Together we can do something about this &ndash; sign up today - by doing so you could help to save someone else&rsquo;s life. &rdquo;</p>
<p>
	Chev will be joined at the event by transplant patient Abrar Hussain from Bradford and Becky Smith, Specialist Nurse for Organ Donation, NHS Blood and Transplant.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Abrar, 54, who works as a catering assistant at Bradford&rsquo;s St Luke&rsquo;s Hospital had a quarter of his liver removed after developing a cancerous tumour. Two years later the cancer returned and Abrar was told he would need a transplant.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<img alt="image" src="uploads/images/organ_doners_2.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 582px" /></p>
<p>
	In August 2010, after spending just three months on the transplant waiting list, he received a call from St James&rsquo;s Hospital in Leedsto say they had found a donor.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;I was one of the lucky ones. To receive a liver transplant so soon after being on the waiting list was an absolute miracle. Apart from a few minor health complications it has transformed my life.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;People from all communities should sign up to the Register. If you&rsquo;re happy to receive an organ from someone, you should be prepared to donate one as well.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;I&rsquo;m lucky to be alive today because someone else made the decision to donate. You could one day help to save or transform someone else&rsquo;s life, so do the right thing &ndash; sign up today.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	More than 60% of the people waiting for an organ transplant in Bradfordare from the Asian or Black community.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) will be hosting a special stand where passers-by can find out more about organ donation and join the ODR. The stand will be located on level three near Primark in the Kirkgate Shopping Centre between <strong>9.30am </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>5pm </strong><strong>on Saturday 14 January and between </strong><strong>11am </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>4pm </strong><strong>on Sunday 15 January.</strong></p>]]></description>
