Big Kids 4 Bibs are a mixed  group of friends raising money for the charity BIBS which funds Buscot ward, the special care baby unit for the Royal Berkshire Hospital.

 

The following words are from Chris Rich, a colleague and friend that motivated me to do the 3 peaks challenge:

 

In November 2010 my daughter Bethany was born three months premature because she had wrapped the cord around her neck twice and partially pulled the Placenta away. She had a brain haemorrhage and respiratory problems as well as other serious complications, but thanks to 10 weeks on Buscot ward she pulled through. While we were there some Babies had to be transferred to larger Hospitals as Buscot simply didn’t have the equipment required to care for these Babies. It costs £1,500.00 a day to keep a baby on an intensive care Ward like Buscot, and with the current financial climate finding money to buy new equipment is nigh on impossible. This is where BIBS come in. They are currently trying to raise enough money to buy a new intensive care Incubator and Big Kids 4 Bibs want to help make this happen. If you’re anything like me, you go along with blinkers on expecting the Birth to be fine. It absolutely never crossed my mind that something like what happened with Bethany was a possibility. This really is something that can happen to any new parents. So please help.

 

I am sure anyone,  Parent or otherwise,  can understand the motivation for Chris any of his friends. If you would like to sponsor to me to help raise money for my local hospital (where my nephews and neices were born) then please donate.
