The Participants response was very enthusiastic. They appreciated the cause and came up with many suggestions. A woman amongst the participants shared incident about her husband’s death with liver failure. She was not aware about Live Liver Transplant.

Just lack of knowledge about organ transplants otherwise things could have been better in her life.
