Now, she’s determined to give back to the community and raise awareness about organ donation.
Ms Moore organised a high tea and fashion parade to raise funds and awareness for Kidney Health Australia at the Longford Memorial Hall on Saturday.
About 100 people attended the event and heard a Donate Life presentation on organ donation. Ms Moore said she was inspired to live life to the fullest following receiving a new kidney.
“I made lots of friends [during dialysis], and a lot of them aren’t here anymore, they’ve passed on – but then alot went on to have transplants, and it’s just truly beautiful,” Ms Moore said.
