A mother of four who had a life-changing liver transplant has given her backing to a new campaign highlighting the benefits of organ donation.
Twelve men and women whose transplants have allowed them to have children joined together to support the latest drive to boost donor numbers.
Among them is Naomi Stocks (30), who had her two youngest children after undergoing a liver transplant in 2004. She had the surgery after she suffered liver damage as a result of an illness.
Her condition was so severe she only knew she had had a transplant when she woke up after the operation.
The Edinburgh woman already had two children, Kieran (10) and Summer (9), and since the transplant she has gone on to give birth to six-year-old Zoe and baby Devon.
“Without a doubt, I wouldn’t have the life or family I have without organ donation and the NHS Organ Donor Register,” she said.
