MCC Media is behind a new CBBC documentary which follows the inspirational story of a 12-year-old boy as he waits for a new heart from a donor.
For the past four years, the Sunderland-based production company has been working with the children’s heart unit at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle to capture the story for My Life: My New Heart, which airs tonight at 5.30pm and is then available on iPlayer.
Jack has lived with congenital heart disease and has been in and out of hospital all his life, but his condition has worsened and doctors have told him he urgently needs a new heart.
The documentary follows Jack’s experience on the transplant list as the children’s heart team at the Freeman hospital in Newcastle search for a match.
