Today's remarkable story about Suzi Macfarlane and her husband John serves as a timely reminder how precious life is - and how important organ donors are.

In what amounts to a husband giving his wife the invaluable gift of life, John donated one of his kidneys after a rare match.

But you don't need to know a sick relative to give someone the gift of life.

Many people disagree with the principle of organ donations, especially on moral or religious grounds.

But there are many hundreds of thousands more who could - but haven't - register as a donor.

It could be one of the greatest things you do today - helping someone to live.

Last night, members of Suzi and John's family were celebrating the success of the seven-hour operation, which took place at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford.

Today, we would urge every reader to sign up to the Oxford Mail's organ donor appeal so that many more families can enjoy a similar gift of joy.
