"Tanya, you were exactly as Terry described and so much more. Your bravery, honesty, humour and strength of character will be our benchmark for the year. Added to which, you opened your heart and let us in.
Yours is a presentation which, long into the future, will be a source of inspiration, gratitude and appreciation of good health. We salute you.”

“During the roller coaster ride, you will laugh and cry, you’ll follow a cleverly constructed story and you’ll marvel at Tanya’s bravery, determination and her will to live. In her words, “I knew that I had to fight and fight and fight some more’.We were privileged to host Tanya.”

"”But the bravery does not stop there. You were very brave from the very start, and still are. Fighting on as you do, knowing full well what another operation is going to entail, should rejection become necessary, but soldiering on anyway. I must also mention the bravery of your husband, to face your first transplant and then in time to come, the second, which you envisage. Your bravery and fortitude has been so inspirational for all of those who tuned into you that night.”
