The Walton Centre finishes top in the region in the race for recipients
As part of Organ Donation Week in late September, The Walton Centre took part in the Race for Recipients.
National figures show that The Walton Centre is regularly one of the top 20 centres for organ donation, contributing to the national effort to save or improve the lives of people desperately in need of a transplant in the UK.
This year staff took part in Race for Recipients which is a challenge to see how many kms they could walk/run as a team throughout Organ Donation Week, to help raise awareness of the incredible gift of organ donation, and to encourage people to confirm their decision on the Register.
Through some amazing staff efforts running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing and other distance exercise - including a static bike in our Intensive Care Unit, Team Walton finished top of the leaderboard in the region, and second - out of over 180 centres - nationally!
A great effort to raise awareness of a really important subject.
