Since then I have battled through three major heart operations which ended in heart failure at the age of 28. 4 years later I was desperately fighting for my life.
A heart transplant seemed very unlikely but when the Doctors met my beautiful four day old daughter, it convinced them they had to try. I waited seven weeks for a heart to become available and after a ten hour operation I received a new heart, thanks to a wonderful generous family donating organs from their loved one. I enjoyed eight happy, healthy years with a new life, enabling me to set up two successful business ventures.
Unfortunately my health has deteriorated over the last two years and I am now in kidney failure, requiring dialysis. My hope now is a kidney transplant. I live one day at a time and have a positive attitude that one day I will receive a new kidney, enabling me to fulfil my dream of seeing my two girls grow up.
