Tomorrow will be an extra special day for Claire Davies.

Ten years ago, she received a kidney from her mother, Carole.

The operation not only saved her life, but has now given her the opportunity to become a mother herself.

Claire will not only be thanking her mother again for such a wonderful gift, but celebrating the fact that she is 17 weeks' pregnant.

Such heartwarming stories emphasise how important it is that we all consider becoming donors.

Doctors tell us that many more life-saving operations could be carried out if they had more organs.

Many people still feel it is too big a step to take and shy away from making a decision.

But Mrs Davies is proof that you can volunteer as a donor and still enjoy a full and active life.

The satisfaction is helping someone less fortunate than yourself to survive.

Meanwhile, tomorrow will give everyone the chance to thank our mothers for all they do and have done for us.

In the rush and tear of daily life, we often take for granted the many things, big and small, they do.

Mums everywhere - sit back, enjoy your day and let the rest of the family do the work.
