A motorcyclist who was tragically killed in a crash has heroically saved the lives of two young men after donating his kidneys.Nathan 'Nafe' Clarke, 27, was hurled off his bike following a collision with a car back in 2019.

A sculpture has now been unveiled to make sure that Nathan's, of Winsford, memory lives on, Cheshire Live reports.The special sculpture put in place to commemorate organ donors has now been created as part of a place for reflection for families who have lost their relatives.The sculpture, which is in Trentham Gardens near Stoke-on-Trent and is called 'Beyond Ithaka', was created by Staffordshire artist Robin Wight.The artwork consists of a Mother Nature figure which forms a heart shape to resemble the organ donation logo, featuring 400 hand beaten coloured metal leaves.The unveiling of the sculpture was featured on BBC’s ‘The One Show’ with dozens of donor family members travelling from across the country to attend.

Nathan’s parents Lesley and Colin plus 17 relatives and friends attended the ceremony.Lesley said: ”It's good to be able to go to somewhere in such a lovely place, with such a fantastic sculpture - because it is breath-taking.

It is beautiful. No photographs will ever do it justice.“That day was one of those days that the sun shone in all the right moments, at all the right times, in all the right places.
