This year for World Origami Day on 11th November, the NHS Blood and Transplant launch a new campaign “Hope Takes Flight” promoting organ donation and featuring a paper plane with a heart, designed by BOS member Joe Russell.
You can see the video featuring Joe, and fellow transplant recipients, online, and fold the model yourself from the diagram by Bernie Peyton, or follow the video instructions on the BOS YouTube channel.Â
NHSBT say:
November 11th is #WorldOrigamiDay, and to celebrate, we’ve launched (quite literally!) a paper airplane that carries a powerful message of hope. This unique model was designed by Joe – an origami artist who needed a lifesaving double lung transplant for cystic fibrosis.
