Two-time liver recipient Matt Scaife is encouraging British Columbians to register as an organ donor this April for National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Month.
Scaife was diagnosed at 29 with a rare auto-immune liver disease. After about a decade, symptoms worsened and Scaife found himself being assessed for a transplant.
“At that time I was really, really sick. They put me on the waitlist and at that time they sort of figured I had about six months to live, give or take.”
