Campaigner backs NHS organ donor drive

A man from Worthing is the face of a new NHS Christmas campaign, encouraging people to sign up to be organ donors.

A lung transplant saved Joe Russell's life 10 years ago when he was struggling in December 2015.

The 47-year-old said: "The difference is life and death. Without a transplant, I would not be here. Before my operation, even the most basic of tasks was beyond me because I was so unwell.

"I know my donor family must be heartbroken, and it is hard to find the words to say to them. I think they and my donor are amazing."
