GIFT OF LIFE Max & Keira THE families who inspired the Mirror’s Change the Law for Life campaign will meet up next month to promote organ donation.

Max Johnson, 11, got the heart of road victim Keira Ball, nine, and called on Theresa May to change the law in England to create an opt-out donor system.

Now Max, mum Emma and Keira’s parents Joe and Loanna will tell their story to experts at an NHS conference in Harrogate, North Yorks, on March 8.

Organisers said: “There is nothing as powerful as hearing from families to help drive home the importance of donation.”

The new law is due to go for its final reading in the Lords tomorrow.

Emma, 48, of Winsford, Cheshire, said it would be “amazing” if it has royal assent before the event. Noel and Russ giggle TAKE one tent, four celebs and mix in dollops of warm, gooey love for this sweet snap.

Actor John Lithgow holds hands with Paralympia­n Hannah Cockroft, and Jon Richardson touches fellow comic Russell Brand’s knee.

Bake Off presenters Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, and judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, give the stars a pat on the shoulder.

Perhaps everyone felt a tad kneady on the day…
