A woman who survived heart surgery has spread joy to children in the Freeman Hospital heart unit over Easter.
Calli Tully, 25, was born with a hole in her heart and had to undergo emergency surgery when she was 17 to remove a muscle mass that had developed.
She spent the beginning of December 2014 on Ward 23 at the Freeman Hospital, in Heaton, and was moved by the number of children who were unable to spend Christmas at home.
