This episode of Made in Lithgow is about one decision — and the ripple effect it creates.
We sit down again with Rich Evans, not to talk about projects or achievements, but to tell the full story of what it means to wait for an organ transplant — and to survive one.

About the unseen chain of people — donors, families, nurses, doctors — who make survival possible.
And about why organ donation is not an abstract idea.
It’s life. Or death.
