with the Rev Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad

The author Cole Moreton tells Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad what happened to a boy who received a new heart.

When the author Cole Moreton wrote about organ donation through the story of two boys, he highlighted the pain and the joy that comes when one child dies but another lives.

Cole's powerful book, 'The Boy Who Gave His Heart Away' is unique in that it brought together two families who had personal contact after the transplant, something that rarely happens.

But what happened next? Cole joins Kate and Jason to update them and they are joined by Sue and Linda, the mothers of the two boys, who share their feelings and thoughts about the ending to this story.

Our 'Charity Champion' Kieran Sandwell is the recipient of a heart transplant and he is raising funds by walking the entire coast of Britain. Kieran speak to Kate and Jason while he is on his hike and if you know someone who has done something amazing for charity, email gms@bbc.co.uk

A regular voice on Pause for Thought on Radio 2, Paul recently had a cornea transplanted into his left eye. The Christian comedian may make the odd joke about the 鈥榚xtra bit鈥� that he now carries but he is keen to remind everyone that, 鈥榳e need to respect the wishes of someone who wanted to be an organ donor because at the moment bereaved families can decline the deceased鈥檚 wishes to be a donor.鈥櫬犅�
