A NORTH-EAST youngster is enjoying visits to the beach, flying a kite and playing football - all the things little boys do.

But ten-year-old Zac owes it to a youngster he never met.

Jamie Stubbs, ten, had already pledged to donate his organs before he died after an asthma attack.

His liver has given the gift of life to Zac, who had a problem with his bile ducts, and had only six weeks to live.

Zac's parents, computer consultant Urfan and his wife, Donna, sent a video of their son playing, with a letter to Jamie's parents, Colin and Sharon Stubbs.

Father-of-three Urfan said: "We had to thank Jamie's family. It took them enormous strength to carry out Jamie's wish. We made the video because we wanted to see what positive things had come out of their son's bravery.''

Zac, whose surname is not being released, was eight-years-old when he was taken to hospital for a liver transplant.

He will be on daily anti rejection drugs for the rest of his life, but his consultant on Teesside said his long term outlook was excellent.

Jamie also donated his lungs, kidneys and heart valve to others. His legacy is the subject of a BBC documentary - Jamie's Wish - being screened on BBC1 next Tuesday.
