The University of Dundee's Institute for Cardiovascular Research (TICR) will be presented with a cheque for £75,000 from the Leng Trust on Thursday 24 March at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.

Robert McLaren, Chairman of the TICR fundraising committee and Professor Hugh Tunstall-Pedoe Director of the University's Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit will welcome Dr Stuart Fair, trustee of the Leng Trust to make the donation.

Robert McLaren said, "We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity the Leng Trust. We are always delighted with donations but the Trust made a donation of £100,000 only two years ago so this gesture is particularly appreciated by the TICR team."
