With my son in his buggy, we are going to run everyday until we have reached 100 miles.
We are fundraising for two vital causes at Bradford hospitals.
- THE COVID CRISIS : The incredible NHS staff and volunteers at Bradford Teaching Hospitals are working tirelessly to look after patients in this COVID-19 crisis. Your donation will provide vital support to staff during this busy time.
- NEONATAL APPEAL : Bradford’s Neonatal Unit cares for around 500 premature and sick babies every year. Approximately one baby in 10 requires admission to the unit, which takes babies from all over the Yorkshire and Humber region. Staff provide intensive care treatments to babies born as early as 23 weeks.
The unit currently has a small area for families to sit, and a small kitchen, neither of which are big enough to accommodate all parents. We believe that – like the babies who are cared for and treated on the unit – our families deserve the best. We would like to refurbish and extend all our facilities to make the unit a true home-from-home.
While the unit currently has two bedrooms to accommodate parents, the appeal aims to raise enough money to:
Build an extension of five additional bedrooms
Create an outdoor garden for parents to be able to reflect in peace and quiet
Refurbish the communal kitchen and living facilities
Refurbish sibling play areas and purchase a range of toys and distraction activities
