Helping those families who have lost children in a tragic accident

We have created a charity in memory of our daughter called Inspired by Keira. On August 2 2017, we tragically lost our beautiful 9 year old daughter Keira, following a terrible car accident and set up Inspired by Keira so we can help others who find themselves in similar situations.

Inspired by Keira now helps and supports families who have lost children in accidents to fund counselling, days away and helping families to make new memories.

We also hope to inspire and promote organ donation. Keira’s heart was given to Max Johnson who suffered heart failure following a viral infection. From this and through constant campaigning Max and Keira’s Law was established which means consent will be presumed with people having to opt out if they wish not to be a donor.

Max and Keiras Law

The Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill

A new system for organ donation that will save hundreds of lives has come into law, with the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill receiving Royal Assent on 15 March. Royal Assent means the bill is now an act of parliament.

The Organ Donation Act will mean adults in England will be considered potential donors unless they chose to opt out or are excluded. The act is known as Max and Keira’s law in honour of a boy who received a heart transplant and the girl who donated it.

There are more than 6,000 people currently waiting for an organ in the UK. Three people die each day while on the waiting list. The new law will help to reduce the number of people waiting for a life-saving transplant.

“Our ability to help people who need transplants is limited by the number of organ donors that come forward… to address this challenge that affects all communities in our country, we will change that system.”

Theresa May

Prime Minister, 2016-19
