Theodore Omondi became Britain’s youngest lung donor after he passed away from a sudden illness at 41 days old and his lungs were given to two people.
Five-month-old Imogen Bolton and an unidentified young adult were the recipients of the lifesaving organs after Theo’s parents made the decision to donate.
His parents are now sharing the pride they feel knowing their son’s lungs saved the lives of two people.
"We believe he would have wanted to help others if he had been able to grow up and make the decision himself,” the told ITV News.
"We are proud of what Theo could do not just for Imogen, but also for a young adult who now runs their body with his two tiny kidneys."
The proud parents, who want to remain anonymous, say they take great solace knowing that Theo will be a big part of Imogen’s life.
"We know that every breath Imogen takes is a breath for our son. Every birthday Imogen celebrates is also a celebration of Theo's birth.”
