She looks like a typical happy-go-lucky schoolgirl on the threshold of her teenage years. But inside Sally Slater beats a 55-year-old heart.
Six years ago Sally was struck down by a virus which attacked her heart and she appeared to be within hours of death when her parents made a desperate appeal for an organ donor.
It was widely believed that Sally's survival was down to the death of another child, but her family revealed how they owe her life to a 49-year-old woman.
Sally, who celebrates her 13th birthday on Friday, said: "If it wasn't for this lady, I wouldn't be alive now."
