I was diagnosed with a genetic disease called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy when I was 17.

I was told that someday I may need a heart transplant.

That day arrived in November 2022.

On the 24th of January 2024, I received the greatest gift anyone could ever wish for.

A strong beautiful beating heart.

I will never let a day pass where I don't think of my donor and their grieving, courageous family.

The Royal Papworth Hospital Charity truly does deserve its title.

Without this specialist team, I would not be here. The care I've received under Papworth these last few years has been incredible.

I spent 15 days between ICU and the ward, and I cannot thank each and every staff member enough for the high standard of care and support myself and my family received.

My nephew Robbie George is doing a half marathon to raise money for the Royal Papworth Hospital Charity.

Royal Papworth Charity plays a vital role in ensuring that Royal Papworth Hospital is able to offer superior facilities, exceptional patient care and an enhanced patient experience.
