On October 11, the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), Council of Europe European Donation Day, the Alliance for Pulmonary Hypertension launched a campaign to to honour donors and their families, to celebrate life after transplant, and to call for greater awareness of the urgent need for organ donation.
The six persons in the photo below are colleagues and friends from our association who have in common that they are all former pulmonary arterial hypertension patients who have undergone a life-saving lung transplant!
🔹Pisana: 23 years
🔹Kamil: 16 years
🔹Mélanie: 16 years
🔹Alena: 11 years
🔹Suzanne: 10 years
🔹Laure: 4 years
Total years gained = 80!
Eighty years of extra life — years filled with milestones, families, friendships, travel, study, work, and the simple joy of everyday living. These are not just numbers; they are years of full, meaningful lives.
What’s more, all of them have become active advocates, using their voices and experiences to raise awareness, inspire others, and show the incredible impact of organ donation. Their lives are a powerful testament to one simple truth: transplantation saves lives.
