At a time when Carolynne May felt down and out, a sign from her late father saved her life.

She spent much of her life battling kidney failure and after three transplants, losing multiple people close to her, she felt lost.

Exactly one month after her dad died, she was offered what would be her healthiest kidney.

This Donate Life Week (28 July – 4 August), people like Carolynne are able to reflect on the life-saving care they received with their new organs.

Calling all doctors and medical students,

Have you considered joining Doctors for the Environment Australia?

Joining DEA means you will be adding your voice to a growing movement of medical professionals committed to bringing about positive change for our planet and future generations.

As our board chair Prof Nick Talley says, "I joined DEA because the biggest threat to our health today according to WHO and 99.9% of scientists worldwide is global warming.

I know doctors have a powerful health voice if they choose to exercise it. Doctors have changed the world through advocacy. Examples include plain cigarette packaging, va**ng and engineered stone bench tops.

At this time in history DEA matters. Please consider joining us and make a difference."

When you become a member of DEA, you join a community of like-minded people who are passionate about protecting the environment, and who understand that human health is inextricably linked to the health of our natural world.
