Forest Hall bereaved mum's pride as son's heart lives on through organ donation

A mum who lost her only child suddenly when he suffered a catastrophic bleed on the brain said knowing that her son's heart went on to save a man's life makes her "extremely proud".

Connor Marchbanks was just 24 when he collapsed unexpectedly after complaining of a headache in July 2019. His mum Honey Sales called 999 and when they arrived at hospital, doctors explained that Connor had a malformation on his brain which had caused a massive bleed and sadly there was nothing they could do.

Honey said her son was a "lovely boy" and incredibly important to her. And the decision to donate Connor's heart not only helps another man live, it feels like he's "still alive somewhere".
