Alfie Jones's death helps three other youngsters live

A couple whose young son Alfie died in a road accident a year ago say that thanks to the help of medics from Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, three other children were given life.

The four-year-old died in hospital after he was struck by a bus carrying secondary school children in Huish Episcopi last May.

His parents, Nigel Jones and Georgina Roberts, of Somerset, are now urging others to consider organ donation if they are ever facing the same desperate choice.

They have since had a letter from the NHS transplant team saying an eight-month-old baby girl received his heart, one kidney went to an eight-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl received Alfie's liver.

All are now doing well.
