Story

This is my first sponsored challenge with New Life Special Care Babies and I am honoured to be able to represent and raise money for this wonderful charity that Trevor, founder and CEO, started in 1995 and that since has raised over £1MILLION! Isn’t that impressive!?!? The difference this charity makes to so many little, tiny, beautiful babies is tangible and heart felt. I’ve supported some of the New Life events and sensed how much people care. The drive and passion Trevor and his collaborators put into New Life is admirable.

This might not be as tough as climbing Kilimanjaro or walking 100km over two days but my heart idefinitely more into this than any other, not only because I ❤ tennis 🎾 but because the results, the benefits, the care this charity delivers are extraordinary.

I will be on the court playing for  12 hours, let’s hope for no injuries and not too much pain! Feel free to bring me Coffee, jelly babies, champagne of course or flowers 💐😄

Your support and encouragement will make a difference

🙏 PLEASE DONATE if you can 👩‍🍼👨‍🍼

THANK YOU xxx

About the charity

New Life is a registered charity that is dedicated to raising money for special care baby units across the UK. The Charity was launched by Trevor Goodall in 1995 in memory of his sons who were born 3 months premature. Sadly they both died after a week but their struggle inspired Trevor to make a difference. In 2021 the Charity reached the amazing £1Million in donations which has helped so many sick and premature babies and their families.
