    Hélène Campbell is a champion of organ and tissue donation. Diagnosed with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis—a fatal lung disease—at only 20 years old, she underwent a double lung transplant that saved her life. Through her innovative social media campaigning, she has raised public awareness of the donor process, increased the number of registered donors, and fundraised to help patients on the organ transplant waiting list and their families.
