Organ grew back in weeks

A BIG-hearted NHS worker has helped save the life of a baby she has never met after having major surgery to donate part of her liver.

Rugby player Courtney Evans, 25, decided to undergo the procedure after she saw a social media appeal a year ago.

Scrolling through Facebook, Courtney saw a desperate plea from a mother begging for a donor to save her baby’s life.

She said: “I enquired about that, but they got back to me and said that baby had already been given a liver, but asked if I'd do another child. I said yes, obviously.

“I never knew it was something you could do and live a normal life.
