Mum Speaks Of 'Incredible' Transformation After Daughter's Kidney Transplant
A three-year old girl, who's spent most of her life on the children's ward at the Leeds General Infirmary, is taking part in the transplant games today.
Mia, from Harrogate, had a new kidney last November after months of lying on the sofa unable to move.
She's now taking part in events like running and beanbag throwing and has raised ÂŁ24,000 for the hospital.
Her mum Sammy says it's been an amazing transformation.
"Seeing her walking into a shop and not having to be pushed in her pushchair is just like 'oh my god' - it's absolutely incredible. She can do anything now - absolutely anything, there's nothing stopping her whereas before she'd just lie of the sofa, she'd be awake for just a couple of hours a day - she's completely different.
"She's been poorly since birth, she's been in and out. We never went two days without any treatments or infusions or in-patient days for the first sort of two years of her life. **We've lived in this ward. Since her transplant she's not had one in-patient day, which is incredible. "
It's after the announcement she was to be a patron for the hospital's "Be a Hero" campaign, which is encouraging people to register as a donor.
