The youngest person thought to have survived a liver transplant has become the poster girl for a Devon campaign.
Fourteen-month-old Lottie Bryon-Edmond, from Torquay, underwent the transplant in August 2011 when she was five weeks old after a nationwide hunt.
She has been chosen as the poster girl by Torbay Hospital for iLIVEiGIVE - a campaign to encourage donation.
