WHETHER or not you carry a donor card, the importance of transplants is only ever brought home when you see someone whose life has been changed by one.
Bolton teenager Adam Bhaiji had been on the kidney transplant list for three years. He had to have dialysis sessions four times a week and felt he was never going to be lucky enough to get a new kidney.
When the call came about an available kidney and Adam underwent successful surgery, it signalled a huge change in his life and health prospects. Now Adam, a keen student, can finally look forward to going to university and becoming an engineer.
