HARRY KIERNAN
Twelve years ago Harry Kiernan's wife Denise committed suicide. She had been suffering from progressive multiple sclerosis which is a degenerative condition. Because Harry had done nothing to stop her, he was convicted of second degree manslaughter and given a suspended prison sentence. After her death Harry wanted to help people in whatever way he could. So Harry, aged 57, has become one of only a handful of altruistic organ donors in the US - he gives his organs to complete strangers without payment.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
12 year old TJ Barrett Dunn and his 13 year old sister Sheneisha live on a housing estate in North London that was once plagued by gangs of youths.

But she was determined that Samuel should get a good education. And her efforts have paid off, because, as Samuel tells Matthew Bannister, he is now researching a PhD at Cambridge University in the UK.
