Heart transplant recipient meets donor family | Organ Donation Week 2023

This is the emotional moment a donor's family met the man who received their son's heart.
Norfolk businessman Kitt Blake was 30 years old and able to help four people when he died in 2020. Tim Head, from Northamptonshire, received Kitt's heart in a transplant that took place at Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge.
Three years on, Tim and his wife Bernie had an emotional first meeting with Kitt's family with the poignant event captured on film as the two families wanted to share their experiences in support of organ donation.
It was a day both families will never forget.
Organ donation changes lives, and more than ever we need people to confirm their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register. One donor can save up to nine lives, and even more by also donating tissue. More than 7,000 people are currently waiting for an organ transplant in the UK, while on average around 1,400 people donate each year.#
