Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My friend, Sharon and I are going to jump out a plane at 10,000 feet.   We are scared but we will do it if you donate some of your hard earned cash to help the Royal Unit Hospital (Bath) to raise funds for its Space to Grow campaign.    

They are trying to raise £4.7 million so they can build a new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that will provide more space and be the first of a new generation of therapeutic healthcare buildings. 

My lovely friends, Jo and Grahame spent a frightening time being transferred from Chippenham, to Bath and then on to Southmead in Bristol to get the right care for their new born son, Joseph.   Thanks to wonderful resources and miracle workers at Southmead, Joseph is now a fun loving boy of 2, but the pictures show how seriously ill he was.   Thank you Jo and Grahame for the pictures.  x. 

Becoming a mum and dad is bewildering at the best of times, but when things don't go to plan it is terrifying.   So please be part of ensuring that the tiny babies needing the care of the NICU are provided with the best care possible without having to be transferred from hospital to hospital.  

Here is the bit that tells you about how Just Giving works ... ... 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.

I am also raising money the old fashioned way - running around with a bit of paper and collecting signatures.   So if you prefer to give your money that way, then let me know and I'll be in touch.    However, this is the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. 

So if you fancy seeing if a girl called Duck can actually fly, please dig deep and donate now.
