 Mr
Ian Rosenberg, Founder of the pioneering Heart cells Foundation died on
25th August 2006, aged 70.
7 years ago he was given just 2 months to live.
It was then that he heard about cardiac stem cell therapy and travelled
to Germany to receive treatment.
On his return, Ian Rosenberg's quality of life was improved
and he was shocked to find no patient trials of the procedure in the UK.
He then decided to set up the Heart Cells Foundation to raise money to fund
ground-breaking cardiac stem cell trials at Barts and London NHS Trust.
To date, over £5.25 million has been raised
towards our target of £6.5 million

Adult stem cells are
the body's building blocks. They are like a natural repair
system, which doctors believe could help treat heart disease.
Trials show that a patient's own stem cells may be able to restore damaged
heart tissue. |
The Heart Cells
Foundation is funding further research and the creation of
a special unit at the Barts and The London NHS Trust. Your
support will help a world-class medical team develop this
potentially life-saving therapy in the UK.
