Story

Back in 2006, after much infertility treatment, I fell pregnant with twins.  The pregnancy went as expected until early January 2007 when at 33 weeks gestation my waters broke.  A few hours later my twins were delivered!  I got to see them briefly but I didn't get to hold them as they were whisked away to the Oliver Fisher SCBU to have emergency respiratory treatment.

My twins spent the next 6 weeks as inpatients on the unit, initially in incubators on the High Dependency Unit.  

It was a very stressful, overwhelming time but the staff on the unit were so caring and supportive.  

I hope I can raise a few pounds for the unit so that they can continue their life-saving work.
