Every sunset feels a little different now.
As a heart transplant recipient, every day is a gift made possible by extraordinary generosity.
Another day lived & loved. Another day I’m here.
#forevergrateful for my donor and family whose gift made all these sunsets possible ❤️💛❤️
An early trip into London together to enjoy the Spring sun, now I’m off for rehearsals and a concert tonight. Playing #viola again so always an enjoyable time. #music is my other #medicine I can’t live without 🎶❤️💛❤️🎻

A healthy heart isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency. Move more, eat well most days, sleep, and manage stress. Small steps protect your heart long-term. #HeartMonth ❤️💛❤️
It's #Groundhog Day, woodchuck-chuckers but for the thousands of people on the transplant waiting list, every day can feel like Groundhog Day until they get the call that changes everything.
What's the one conversation you'd have today if you knew it mattered?

1/At this time of year, we come together with people we love, reflect on what matters & look ahead with hope.
For me, this season is also a moment of deep gratitude.
Because of the kindness and generosity of my donor & their family, I am here to celebrate, to love & look forward.
2/Christmas is about connection, compassion, giving.
While we’re together, having those meaningful conversations, please find a moment to talk about organ donation — not in a heavy way, but as an act of love and care for others.
"We got her home on #XmasEve” - words from a mum whose daughter had life-saving #hearttransplant as a baby.
"If everyone knows their loved ones wishes, it would save many more lives. The worst time in our lives turned into the best time of our life thanks to an #organdonor.”
Barrie had a kidney transplant in Nov 2020 from his brother David. Together they climbed Snowden (Yr Wyddfa) earlier this year to show that you can live a full life as a living donor and kidney recipient! #KidneyTransplant#OrganDonation#LivingDonation
