A $580K donation from a U.S.-based Brit honors her brother’s life-saving heart transplant and boosts UK heart transplant research.
The Royal Papworth Charity in Cambridge received its largest single donation—£453,611.60—from British-born philanthropist Wendy J Tomlin-Hess, now in the U.S., in honor of her brother Terry, whose life was saved by a pioneering heart transplant at the hospital in 2015.
The gift supports the hospital’s leadership in donation after circulatory death (DCD) transplants, the first in Europe, funding research to improve donor heart viability assessment, extend preservation time from six hours to six days, and strengthen its clinical research facility.
Since the first DCD transplant, Royal Papworth has performed 147 such procedures, the most in the UK.
The donation is seen as transformative for global patient care.
