While Matthew waits for a donor to be found, he must endure long dialysis sessions and take 18 tablets a day. His diet is also very restricted and he’s allowed less than two pints (900mls) of liquid a day.

Every day across the UK, around three people who could have benefited from a transplant die because there aren’t enough organ donors. And currently around 6,500 people are on the waiting list for a transplant. Yet, of the approximately half a million people who die each year across the UK, only around 1% (5,603) die in circumstances where their organs could be donated.
