Máirtín Mac Gabhann MBE is an award-winning campaigner and founder of the Donate4Dáithí organ donation awareness campaign, established after discovering his son Dáithí needed a heart transplant over six years ago.

Máirtín’s advocacy led to the introduction of Dáithí’s Law in Westminster. Over 200,000 people have also joined the NHS Organ Donor Register in Northern Ireland since the Donate4Dáithí campaign began.

He recently completed a master’s in Communication and Public Relations and was honoured with an MBE for Services to Organ Donation in June 2024. Máirtín continues to promote the importance of organ donation through his son’s lifesaving campaign.
