I am the daughter of the late Ian Rosenberg the founder of The Heart Cells Foundation. It is wonderful to watch my late father’s vision of having Stem Cell treatment available here in the Uk, after my father underwent this treatment abroad I saw first hand how it gave him many more years and quality of life he had not had not had for a long time.

Opening the compassionate treatment programme is an amazing achievement and I continue to support the charity to enable other people to have the opportunity my father had to extend their quality of life which so often can deteriorate after heart failure for not only the patient but for their family and friends.
