 Drive Change For Good - Humans of NY Hello. I'd like to read you something today that I found on Instagram. It's from humans of NY: “I've never given it any thought. When my boss's husband got a kidney from a newscaster in town. It sort of became a local story and I began to learn more about it. I found out that a kidney from a living donor can give someone more than 20 years of life and there were 2500 people in Ohio on the waiting list.So, after confirming that I'd still be able to drink. I signed up for the registry.Two months later I got an email saying that they'd found a match, they'd only say it was a local man but I was excited. I think I needed a little purpose in my life. I didn't have children. I did not have anyone to carry on my whatever. And I loved thinking that I could help someone in such a major way. Not everybody meets their donor. But since both of both of us agreed. The meeting was arranged for after the surgery.They sat me in a conference room at the hospital. I had no idea who was going to walk in the door. And when Tom walked in, I could only think one thing. Oh my god I've given my kidney to Wesley Snipes. He was really quiet, So I did most of the talking, but at the end he said, I only have one question. ‘Why would you do this for someone you didn't know?’ and I said ‘why not?’ After that it was like a light switched on. We were going to be friends forever. That's just how it was going to be. Tom became like a brother to me he makes fun of me a lot, but he's also extremely protective. Not that I'd ever need someone killed, but if I did, I'd know who to call. Three years after the transplant, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.It was a nasty kind, and I didn't have any family around, but Tom called my sister in Florida and said, ‘Don't worry, I've got this. It's my turn to take care of her.’He took me to every single one of my chemo appointments. He kept me coming to the entire time.A few weeks after my treatment ended. I threw myself 50th birthday party. At the end I gave a little speech.I was looking out at all the people I loved, all the people who helped me, and I couldn't even speak. I turned into a big sopping mess.Tom got up from his chair and walkednto the side of the stage and grabbed my hand.And he held it until I could speak again.”  I was struck by that immediately because oh, it must be 20 years ago that I donated bone marrow to somebody, a total stranger. When they came back to me and said there was a match and was I still willing to donate. I said yes. And I was sent to Bristol Children's Hospital. So, in my head, I'm thinking oh my goodness I'm going to be donating my bone marrow to a child. How amazing.When I turned up at the hospital the surgeons told me that I was actually going to be donating to a man who was only a couple of young years younger than me, who had two small children and basically, my bone marrow was going to allow him to last longer than a few weeks. The operation went well and like the couple in humans of NY, I met up with the gentleman that I donated my bone marrow to. And I was quite in awe of how thankful he was, and his wife, to me, because I hadn't really given it much thought like the lady said in humans of NY earlier: Why not. I could do it. Why would I not do it? I've grown to realise over the last 20 years that perhaps my attitude is not the same as many people's. But it is the same as a lot of people and if we can do something for good. Then why wouldn't we? it should just be part of who we are. I had forgotten about donating bone marrow until I read this post. But I'm glad I did it. And I'm glad I met Tim. So, wherever you are at the moment Tim I hope you're having

Hello,Welcome to the first podcast for Drive Change For Good.My name is Greg Garrity.And I will be voicing my opinions and discussing the issues that you guys bring to my attention, on at least a weekly basis. It may be more. If we have important issues at the time that rise up, it may even be two or three times a week.But at the moment, I'm thinking weekly.So.  You're sitting there probably asking yourself. What's Drive Change For Good?Who is it? What is it? Why would I bother listening to this podcast?  Well, Drive Change For Good is an organization dedicated to the concept of completely redesigning the way we deliver social care in the UK. It's my mission to bring together as many like-minded people as possible, to design and fund the pilot projects that will show our government exactly how care should be delivered. To maximise its positive results, reduce social isolation and stop people falling through the gaps in our systems and community. Now obviously as a soapbox, me just talking about what we haven't got. It's gonna get boring pretty fast. So what I would also like to do is use this medium to be able to present you with what's currently good in the world and what is excellent in practice.  If you are somebody who is going above and beyond, whether it's down to COVID and lock- down, or if you know anybody thinking outside the box and doing what people need. Then let me know about it. I would love to talk to you on the show. And what's more, if you have a really worthwhile project. I would love to focus on that on either the Drive Change For Good.org website,or the Drive Change For Good YouTube channel, both of which have a variety of blogs and videos about these same subjects.So, to wind up this first very short broadcast.I'll hit you with the key points again. Drive change for good is always all about changing the way we deliver care in society.  Not only will I be talking about the projects that we're working on. But I want to talk about you. You and the things you're doing well, if you're struggling. Talk to me. I'll be able to help you out or pass you on to someone who can help you out. Especially if you're a carer. Talk to me, Let's have a conversation. Okay, social isolation does not need to exist at all. Listen out for our next podcast and Let's Drive Change For Good together.
