An incredible gesture from a Washington haulage firm has seen the adorable face of tot Beatrix Adamson-Archbold adorn the sides of a lorry in hope of encouraging drivers up and down the country to consider how vital organ donation is.
Little Beatrix, two, from Burnopfield, County Durham, is awaiting a heart transplant at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. And her family - like many others at the Freeman's Children's Heart Unit - are desperate to encourage as many people as possible to think about organ donation if that is ever an option. Beatrix's story has touched many around the North East.
She was rushed to hospital last May after falling ill - and she soon underwent open heart surgery. As she, and many others, wait for transplants, family firm Hawthorn logistics have put a huge sign encouraging organ donation and featuring Beatrix on one of its trailers.
