Adelaide schoolboy KC collapsed on the basketball court. Months later, he needed a heart transplant

Looking back now, Michelle Herriman-Place thanks her lucky stars she was at her son KC’s basketball game one morning in 2018.

“KC collapsed and, because I was looking at the game so intently as I was coaching, I instantly knew something was very wrong,” Michelle recalls.
