Story

The Birmingham Transplant Centre will be a national centre of excellence for organ transplantation, and will be funded in its entirety by UHB Charity. It will put patient care at the forefront of transplantation and will create a one stop shop for patients undergoing organ transplants.UHB Charity want to bring all of the specialist care available to the patient, taking away a huge amount of stress and therefore speeding up recovery time. The new centre will bring all the specialist care to patients, including pre-transplant consultations, additional fitness classes before surgery, patient support groups, and rehabilitation classes after surgery.

This is close to our hearts after Carl got his new heart back in October 2019 aged 34. Carl was rushed into the QE in Birmingham in a critical condition with heart failure. We were told to prepare ourselves for the worst, as a family we were broken. He was so young with a partner and two kids and his whole life ahead of him. Then something very special happened after months of being on a life support a heart became available. He was given the most amazing gift and a new chance at life thanks to his Donor, his Donors Family and the QE Hospital. They saved his life and we will be forever grateful. 

We will be climbing Mount Snowden in June in order to raise awareness and raise some money for the New Transplant Centre, any donations would be much appreciated and will go a long way. 

Thank you all for your support.
