A university student's decision to sign up as an organ donor led to him saving nine lives after his death at the age of 22.

Tom Wilson died after being hit on the back of the head with a hockey stick during a training session, his mother Lisa Wilson said.

Mrs Wilson, from Barnstaple, Devon, said her son's decision to sign up as a donor at his university's freshers fair when he was 18 had also led to the lives of a further 41 people being transformed.

Now a South West ambassador for the organ donor register, she is sharing Tom's story to encourage more people to sign up.

Mrs Wilson said she was doing some planning for the following day's teaching on the evening of 8 December 2015 when she received a call from her son's best friend Rob.
