Sunderland model's plea for organs

Sunderland Echo
GLAMOUR model Danni May is appealing for Wearsiders to sign the organ donor register after the death of her cousin meant others could be saved.

Former Monkwearmouth School pupil and Sunderland graduate Louise Smith was just 34 when she died from an aneurism.

Her death came just days after giving birth to a little girl, Ava Grace Louise Smith Sayers, in October.

Although still devastated by her untimely death, Louise’s family, including her partner, John Henry Sayers, have found some comfort in the fact that seven of her organs could be donated to save lives.

Mum-of-one Danni, who lives in Barnes, said: “Louise filled out a donor card a couple of years ago and encouraged me to do the same.
