Story

Our baby Olivia was born at 24 weeks, weighing 470 grams and was only given a 5-10% chance of survival. After 141 days, in 4 different NICUs she is now happily home with her Mum and Dad. After witnessing first-hand the amazing efforts of those hospitals, I have chosen to fundraise to help contribute to them continuing their life-saving work.

When we made decision to have a baby we never thought for one moment we would find ourselves on this rollercoaster ride of emotions and extreme highs/lows. I was ignorant to the prem world, I wasn't even aware babies at 22 weeks could survive with the right medical treatment that our NHS Hospitals can provide. That's why I have chosen to raise money for these incredible units to help save more babies like our little girl Olivia.
