Klerksdorp, a small town in South Africa. This is where the Gird family live. Melanie is 20 and her younger brother Trevor is 15. They have ARVD, a life-threatening condition that slowly destroys the heart. Their only hope of survival is a heart transplant operation.
This is a moving real-life drama about two children, a brother and sister, waiting for a heart. They know time is running out for them as each week passes ...
Keen to inspire donors to step forward, not only for themselves but for thousands like them, they have opened their lives to the prying eye of television cameras. In this series we follow them on their difficult journey. There can be no assurance about the outcome. They hope that this series will inspire others to support donor programmes. It may save thousands of lives, if not necessarily their own.
