Sally-Ann Hart, 59, is suffering from multiple organ failure linked to diabetes. And she needs a new liver, pancreas, small bowel and possibly a kidney.

She has already nearly died four times and is now making the most of her time by ticking items off a bucket list, including going on holiday to Malta with her husband David.

And she now plans to do a charity walk.

Sally-Ann said: "In order to survive I will need a triple, possibly quadruple, organ transplant from the same person.

"I reckon I have more chance of winning the lottery.

But she adds: "I'm staying upbeat through it all and I have been told that I am brave and an inspiration.

"Having died and come back, it is obvious that I still have something else to achieve in life and if it means helping others, then that is what I will do."

Sally-Ann's problems first came to light when she started to fall asleep at her desk when she worked as a headteacher's personal assistant at Bishop Heber High School in Malpas.
