My Taylor made transplant hero

End to bad blood for Swiftie Keisha

- BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG

TAYLOR Swift fan Keisha Martin was saved from a cruel summer when a bone marrow donor helped her fight off a life-threatening illness in time to see her idol in concert.

Keisha spent a Christmas and her 16th birthday in hospital 200 miles from home during an agonising six-month wait for a suitable match to be found.

In the end, due to a shortage of donors in the UK, it was an unnamed German man whose tissue enabled the op to go ahead at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne.

And as she battled back to health, Keisha was overjoyed when doctors approved weekend leave to let her see Taylor at Anfield.
