Top fashion designer says thank you to donor families

Organ Donor Car Show

Trelise Cooper, one of New Zealand’s most successful fashion designers, is a major sponsor of an upcoming car show to raise awareness for organ donation. It’s a cause close to Trelise’s heart as her close friend Danny Saunders received a life-saving lung transplant in 2010.
