HAPPY CHILD Theo, who died at the age of eight

THE mother of a little boy who saved four lives by donating his organs has called on families to discuss organ donation.

Theo Kempthorne died suddenly in 2024 aged eight after suffering severe brain damage.

But his heart saved another child, while his kidneys, pancreas and liver were donated to three patients in their 30s, one of whom was a father.

Theo's mum Gemma approached medics about organ donation after reading a news article on the impact of lifesaving transplants.
