Organ transplant: ‘My child’s heart is beating in somebody else’s chest’

30-year-old Kitt Blake died in 2020.

His heart was donated to 64-year-old Tim, who had a form of heart disease.

Speaking to 5 Live’s Clare McDonnell, she said: “Kitt always helped everybody, and he’s now helped several people.â€

Kitt’s mum Jane met Tim and she has been able to hear her son's heartbeat through a stethoscope three years after he died.
