Episode Synopsis

Come and join the conversation with Jenifer Rosenberg, founder of Heart Cells Foundation charity.

Well, what an incredible chat with an even more incredible lady! Join me as I hear about Jenifer's amazing life, from starting out in the post room at M & S, becoming a fashion buyer, and eventually setting up her very own manufacturing company and ending up SUPPLYING M & S!

We also chat about her amazing charity Heart Cells Foundation, which was founded by her late husband Ian, after he suffered heart failure in 2003. Jenifer talks me through the weeks that followed, having been not given a good prognosis and explaining exactly what heart failure is, and the science behind the words.

A chance meeting with a cardiologist led Jenifer and Ian to discover a pioneering treatment that was taking place in Germany, and as she explains her husband was a "do it now" kind of gentleman, they jumped at the chance and travelled for the treatment, arriving in Germany shortly afterwards.

Jenifer talks me through the amazing stem cell treatment, explaining exactly what happens and the incredible way that our very own stem cells are used to repair ourselves! Not having the issues of rejection like organ donation makes the treatment so successful. She calls them "magic cells" which is so wonderful and true!

The success of the treatment gave Jenifer 3 more years with her beloved husband, something which they had been previously told was almost impossible. Having experienced the results first hand, Ian decided that they must launch a charity and enable more and more people's lives to be saved and give their families the gift of time with their loved ones.

Heart Cells Foundation was born and has raised the money to successfully treat many patients at St Bart's hospital, and have finished two stages of clinical trials, with only Phase 3 remaining until stem cell treatment can be rolled out across the NHS and be accessible for all.

Absolutely LOVED chatting to this phenomenal lady, such an interesting life, such an interesting lady and such a wonderful charity, and so so SO important.
