Sometime today- perhaps several times- Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.

Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.

　　The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card （器官捐献卡） .

　　"I can' t say thank you enough," Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.

　　What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.

　　His liver （肝脏） went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. "Not a day goes by that I don' t think of what a painful thing it must have been for them," Winter said yesterday.

　　"They are very, very special people."

　　Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more next year in Japan.

　　"At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better."

　　The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his life now.

　　"I have no time for arguments," said Winter.

　　"You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot."

　　Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr. Gray levy, Winter's doctor.

　　Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.

　　Levy knows that for every recipient（接受者） like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.

　　"For every Mr. Winter, we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given," Levy said.

　　Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive $ 10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.
