It's a day Kayleigh Lewellyn's family thought they would never see.
Almost four years on from receiving a life-saving heart transplant at the age of just 12, Seaham teenager Kayleigh has celebrated her school prom. And the teenager arrived in style - thanks to a surprise visit from the medic who helped to save her life.
Proud parents, Shaun Sidney and Sonia Lewellyn reached out to Paul Hill who was part of the Freeman Hospital team who carried out the transplant in November 2019 and asked him to be a part of the milestone moment. The retired perfusionist gladly accepted and drove Kayleigh to her Seaham High School leaver's ball at Beamish Hall in his black Mustang on Thursday, July 6.
