From the Heart - Dawn's story
As part of ITV's From the Heart campaign, we are looking at the subject of organ donation.
More than 200 transplants have been carried out on people from our region in the last year.
Dawn was one of first people in the country to have a transplant to replace not just one organ - but six.

Dawn Carter has started an online support group for others facing a multi-organ transplant. You can find it here.
