New liver - and new daughter - for Craig
As part of ITV's "From The Heart" campaign to raise awareness of organ donation, we meet Craig Boden and his young family. Craig's immune system was attacking his own liver and he was given a year to live.
He made a film, where he spoke movingly of his need for a new liver. Just before Christmas the call came and Craig had the transplant. He says it's the best start to a New Year he could have wished for. Two weeks ago his second daughter was born.
Now Craig, who lives in Sheffield, says he will be around to see his children grow up. He believes it's vital for people to sign the donor register and talk to their families about what they want. To find out more see the From The Heart website.
