When no suitable organs were available, they decided to use adult cut-down lungs

I had my kidney transplant 41 years ago, when I was 40 years old.

Since the transplants I have regained my independence.

I am forever grateful to my brother's donor family for their selfless act.

I am eternally grateful to this special family for giving me the chance of life.

They had to perform the Ross Procedure at five and a half weeks.

Most importantly, this journey would not be possible without the donor family.

As parents we celebrate her life and give thanks for the gift of a liver.

We are both doing fantastically since the operation.

Remember, one day it could be you who needs another organ.
