It’s all about Romeo

Romeo was born with a rare form of CHD called Tetralogy of Fallot, affecting 1 in 3000 babies. At 4 months old he had open heart surgery to correct this however since then he has not thrived. At 10 months old and after suffering four cardiac arrests; Romeo was diagnosed with an even rarer heart condition which affects less than 1 in a million babies called Restrictive Cardiomyopathy.

The only cure for this is a heart transplant, unfortunately Romeo was not deemed suitable for this and after months in intensive care came home under palliative care for 5 months.

He put up the biggest and bravest fight throughout his life but sadly grew his angel wings early hours on the 12th of October 2021.

This page documents his journey throughout his life.

In loving memory of Romeo Jazz Francis 05/04/19 – 12/10/21 ♥️

Talk about it.

By sharing Romeo’s story I hope to raise awareness around the importance of organ donation.

By becoming an organ donor you could save up to 9 lives, how amazing is that?

All you need to do is…talk about it. Share your wishes with your family around organ donation, it really is as simple as that. Your family will always be consulted when it comes to organ donation. By doing so you could help save a life like Romeo.

For more information about organ donation please click on the below picture to redirect you to the NHS Organ Donation website:

“Organ donation is not a tragedy but it can be a beautiful light in the midst of one.”
