00:01Imran Abjad's memories of his daughter are of a young woman full of life.
00:06Caring, giving, an absolute package of time.
00:1022-year-old Akasha Imran died in March last year after a bus ran a stop sign and crashed into
00:17her motorcycle.
00:18The driver later pleaded guilty to negligent driving causing death.
00:22A few days before the accident, she'd spoken to her family about organ donation
00:27and following her death, the family carried her wishes forward.
00:31Akasha's life can continue in some shape and form, helping another life. That is the biggest beauty.
00:39Australia's organ donor registration rate sits at 35% nationally and it's only 27% in the ACT.
00:47Most Australians are supportive of organ donation but unfortunately sometimes it doesn't translate within the registration rate.
00:55Please have your intention known, have your heart open for generosity to help a number of other lives.
01:04This weekend the family launched the Akasha Imran Foundation to help young people access sport regardless of their circumstances.
01:13Akasha Imran lived a wonderful life and it would be unfair as a family, as her friends,
01:20if we did not carry her message of hope forward.
