transplant week 2011

Kaylee-Ann Davidson

Meet Kaylee-Ann, she is currently the longest surviving person in the UK to receive a heart transplant.

I am the longest surviving in the UK to receive a heart transplant.

I received my transplant in October 1987 at Newcastle Freeman Hospital making medical history.

I lead a normal, healthy and active life. I’ve worked for Marks and Spencer as a Sales advisor for the past four years and I’m keen to progress. I’m also currently studying for a GNVQ in Maths at Newcastle College.

I'm an Athlete and have had many achievements in a range of tournaments including the British Transplant games, The European and The World Games. 

Along with the usual things a 24 year old does such as socialising with friends, shopping and going to parties, in my spare time, I help the Freeman Hospital to promote Organ Donation.

I wouldn’t be alive if the NHS Organ Donor Register didn’t exist and I am keen to help save more lives so that we can have more people like me, living to tell their stories.

So what are you waiting for, sign up to the NHS Organ Donor Register today.
