My mum had a heart attack a few weeks ago and had a relatively urgent surgery at the Royal Brompton and she is overwhelmed with how wonderful everybody was. It is her 75th birthday on the 12th of August and she doesn’t want any presents she would like everyone to donate money to the Royal Brompton Hospital charity.

"I owe my life and heartfelt gratitude to everyone at the Royal Brompton Hospital after a triple heart bypass following a surprise heart attack.

I am lucky enough to now be celebrating my 75th birthday on the 12th of August and would like nothing more then donations to this wonderful charity rather than presents."
