Help us to provide the best special care for babies

Story

The Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at Darent Valley Hospital in Kent is a special place for us. It has cared for all three of our sons when they were very ill. 

When my (Becky) first son Ethan was born prematurely, he spent ten days under the care of SCBU. Then my brother's (Matt) son Leo was born and was very poorly and had two stints in SCBU. Then my sister and Tony's son Xander also spent time in SCBU immediately after birth.

We all witnessed first hand just what an amazing job all the staff do, and always said we wanted to raise some money for their Little Buds charity fund at some stage.

And so - for some slightly crazy reason - we elected to do this by attempting to get around 106km of Isle of Wight coastal path in 24 hours, on 5th May 2018

Any donation to support the charity would be very much appreciated.
