Joy as Sarah gets liver after 26 months

CYSTIC fibrosis sufferer Sarah Meredith is the healthiest she's been for years following a long-awaited liver transplant after the Daily Express highlighted her plight

- Chris Riches

In a five-year campaign we secured Sarah's CF wonder drugs and exposed flaws in a system that left her waiting 16 times longer than the average for a liver transplant.

She had been sent to the back of the queue because of how NHS Blood and Transplant's algorithm "scored" her rare combination of genetic and debilitating conditions.

It meant she had to wait 26 months for her life-saving transplant instead of the average 47 days.
