**Lauren Rowe 26, NSW.
Creator, Gifted Life.**
Born with cystic fibrosis, Lauren was 19 when she underwent a double lung transplant. Determined to live life to the fullest, Lauren created Gifted Life to raise organ donation awareness and support people on their transplant journey. Through Gifted Life, Lauren provides Necessity Bags to transplant hospitals for patients who are admitted unexpectedly and need basic toiletry items. “One Australian on the transplant waiting list dies every week because an organ is not available,” says Lauren. The scholarship would allow Lauren to create organ donor awareness campaigns and hold events for organ recipients.
