Story
Having met Sharon (the Founder of the Luca Foundation) at a Business Event, she told her story and it struck a cord with me.
I had a conversation with Sharon and asked how much it would cost to provide one new Cuddle Cot to a Maternity Unit. She advised they cost £2,000. So there we have it.... the target....
1 New Cuddle Cot into a Maternity Unit.
Having completed my last half marathon a number of years ago, I stated "I will never run again". However... this cause has brought me out of retirement.
"We ensure every bereaved parent has extra time with their child to say their goodbyes over days rather than hours. This 'gift of time' can only be achieved with working cold cuddle cots.
The Luca Foundation actively ensure that working cuddle cots are available across the UK, in maternity units, NICU wards and Paediatric wards.
We do not pay salaries from our charity, therefore all funds raised go to the cause & this vital equipment. The government do not deem this as vital medical equipment but we do, therefore we are making this happen!"
