"Alex clinched three gold medals. His remarkable performance is a testament to his dedication and skill as a young athlete."

Julie also made her mark at the games in the Lady Donors Category and secured a silver and a bronze medal.

Julie said: "What an amazing week celebrating life and forging friendships with individuals from all corners of the globe.

"The warmth and camaraderie within the transplant community are truly special."

Alex has a unique bond with his mum; Julie donated one of her kidneys to her son when his failed. 

He had to wait until he was three-years-old for a transplant, meaning he spent much of his early life on dialysis and needing overnight care.

Alex started skiing when he was just four-year-old, just one year after his transplant.

The World Transplant Winter games take place every two years and are open to anyone who has received a solid organ transplant including liver, heart, lung, kidney, pancreas or bone marrow.

Alex and his family go to the British Transplant Games every year.

The spokesperson from Myddelton College added: "Their outstanding achievements are a source of pride for everyone at Myddelton College.

"We'd like to congratulate Alex and Julie on this remarkable success, which highlights the power of perseverance and the importance of organ donation in transforming lives."
