This site is a tribute to Ben, who was born in Manchester on July 20, 1976. He died in 2020, at the age of 43, after contracting CoVid-19. Ben was gentle, generous and honest. He is sorely missed by all his friends and family.
After giving blood the first time, many years ago, Ben discovered his platelets were rare and high-value, because they were compatible with many more people than usual. He donated those platelets as often as he could. His donations went on to help save the lives of many.
The best things we can all do in his honour are to make sure we are registered for organ donations, and to find out how you can give blood. If you would also like to donate a little money to the NHS Blood and Transplant Trust Fund, you can do so here. Any donations to the fund will go on to fund medical research or improvements to the NHS' Blood and Transplant services.
