THE life of a sick baby girl was saved by her mum's best friend, who donated part of her liver.
Myla Evans Duffey was just five weeks old when she was rushed to hospital with a rash on her face.
After tests, she was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a blockage in the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder. A liver transplant was needed.
Worried parents Laura and Liam travelled 232 miles from their home in Falkirk, Scotland, to Leeds Children's Hospital, for Myla's treatment.
They made a public appeal for a donor and Laura's best friend from school, Nadean Marshall, volunteered.
