Ben Hughes, from Shrewsbury, was born with congenital heart disease and had a heart and lung transplant in 2007.
Last year he began to suffer chronic rejection and has recently been told he may have just days left to live.
Mr Hughes, 28, admitted his life "would have been over a long time ago" if he had not received the organs.
Last year the NHS Blood and Transplant Service said a record 18 million people had registered as organ donors in the UK, but the number still needed to increase with some 10,000 people on a waiting list for transplants at any one time.
