A former GAA player is urging the public to become organ donors as those waiting for transplants face more delays than ever before due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
John Egan, a former intercounty Westmeath footballer, is due to start dialysis in the coming weeks and is also in the process of being added to the kidney transplant list.
Egan, from Athlone, works as a senior IT recruitment consultant. More than 15 years ago, he was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, which causes long-term kidney damage and eventual kidney failure.
