Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
I am raising money for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the John Radcliffe Hospital in memory of a friends little boy - William Radley.
William was born, very poorly, on May 8th 2011. The first six weeks of his life were spent on the NICU. He was cared for with such skill and dedication by the staff in the NICU that, against all odds, he survived those first few days and weeks and became well enough to be transferred to Southampton General Hospital for heart surgery to prolong life further.
Unfortunatley William died on 29th September 2011, he was less than 5 months old.
William's family will always be grateful to the NICU, the fantastic team kept William alive and enabled him to spend precious time with them and for them to see him smile. For this his family will always be eternally grateful.
I personally owe the NICU an extra thanks for the care they provided to my son Thomas, who spent his first week in their care after he was born with a bowel obstruction. Again, we could not fault the care and support they gave us at a difficult time.
In Williams memory and as a thanks from Thomas, I hope to raise money to help other babies, to hopefully give many more families a chance to see their baby smile.
So please dig deep and donate now.
