A schoolboy who underwent a “heart in a box” transplant and a pensioner who saved a woman’s life during a knife attack are to be honoured with awards for unsung heroes.
They are among those being recognised at the Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards, in partnership with TSB, which celebrate ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Aaron Hunter, 10, from Falkirk, who was born with only half a heart and ultimately needed a heart transplant, is receiving the Child of Courage Award.
In 2018, a suitable heart was found for Aaron, but it had been kept pumping outside a human body in a pioneering “heart in a box” procedure.
