Further tests confirmed Lana had broken her neck. The days that followed will remain with her mum Lisa Maddison. But the pain of losing a child was eased slightly with the knowledge that Lana helped four people continue living their lives.

Lisa, said: “I believe Lana made it to Carlisle in time so that she could donate her organs. We had discussed organ donation a couple of years earlier. "I remember being in the kitchen when Lana was completing her donation form online at the age of 17, we laughed as she told me she didn’t want to donate her eyes or heart, I said ‘don’t worry Lana, I doubt anyone would want your eyes as you can’t see very well anyway.’ "So, when we were approached in ITU, there was really no decision for us to make, we already knew her wishes.
