'Georgia inspired me to donate son's organs'

Available for over a year

Data from NHS Blood and Transplant shows that last year, there was a 5% increase in the number of patients whose lives were saved or improved through an organ transplant in the UK. Sarah Gorrell speaks to Ilse Steyaert from Bramley, near Guildford, who donated her three year old daughter Georgia's organs after she died suddenly. And Maria Dennis from Hastings whose 11 year old son Harry's organs helped saved five people's lives.
