Bodie, the baby who saved four lives
Ten days ago, Hammersmith Hospital revealed that a six-day-old baby had become one of Britain's youngest-ever organ donor.
The news brought back heart-wrenching memories for dad Nick Hodges whose 10-month-old son Bodie was one of only a handful of babies to become a donor back in 2012.
Bodie died after a choking accident, but despite their heartbreak, Nick and his wife were determined that their little boy would leave his own legacy and help others, so they decided to donate his organs. Now the couple know that Bodie has helped give four other children the chance to lead full lives.
Nick joins Phillip and Christine to tell his story and to try and encourage other parents that have suffered their own tragic loss to make the same difficult but ultimately inspirational choice.
The Bodie Hodges Foundation
The aim of the Bodie Hodges Foundation is to raise funds to buy a holiday home for families to use following the death of their child. Our baby boy, Bodie, died aged 10 months following a choking accident. He showed remarkable strength and courage and although he lost the battle he went on to become an organ donor and saved the lives of four other babies.
