Scott has spent half his life with somebody else's heart beating in his chest. He recently celebrated his 30th birthday and an amazing 15 years since receiving a heart transplant. 🫀 Born with a rare condition that meant the arteries to his heart were in the wrong position, Scott needed multiple surgeries growing up – the first was just 9 hours after birth. Unfortunately, Scott’s health got worse over the years 💔, leaving him unable to brush his own teeth, tie his shoelaces or climb a flight of stairs. His final surgery resulted in the news that a heart transplant was his only option to live. It was around this time that Scott’s donor, a man named John, sadly passed away and his loved ones agreed to organ donation. This gift of a heart has allowed Scott to purse his love of DJing 🎵, singing 🎤 and acting 🎭 – he’s also struck up a wonderful friendship with many of John’s loved ones. Scott says: “John’s family had made the most selfless decision at such a tragic time to donate their loved one’s organs. Transplants truly do save lives, lives like mine.” #OrganDonationWeek #OrganDonation #GiftOfLife #SaveLives #NHS #HeartTransplant
