This is why her new heart can be seen with the naked eye. Although this is the case, it didn't stop her from sharing her story to inspire other patients like her.

The viral TikTok influencer said that she is actually amazed that somebody's heart allows her to stay alive, adding that it would remain very special to her.

She had her transplant back in September 2010. The surgery lasted for more than 12 hours. Although she suffered from a cardiac arrest during the operation, her medical operation still went successfully.

How Can You Help? 

The National Health Service (NHS) Blood and Transplant is currently accepting organ donors. As of the moment, around 7,000 patients are currently on the U.K. Transplant Waiting List. 

On the other hand, the health agency announced that 470 individuals died while waiting for a transplant back in 2021. If you want to help other people, you can register in the NHS Organ Donation program. 

However, the agency always suggests interested donors talk with their loved ones before registering. If you want to see more details, you can visit this link.
