THE AIM:
To cycle from London to Paris in August 2011.
7 blokes on bikes - Liam Tanner, Dominic Dimambro, Graham Melling, Harry Melling, Phil Miles, Ross Peebles, and Paul Seyfried.
THE CHARITY:
Born Too Soon provide specialist equipment to pre-term and sick newborn infants and provide help, advice and support to their parents.
Without this charity Joseff would not be alive today. The equipment they provided saved his life many times, sometimes several times a day. With your help they can save many more babies.
THE CAUSE:
On the 28th of November 2009 our son Joseff Tanner was born 2 and a half months too soon. He spent the first 8 weeks of his life in intensive care. No one knew if he would survive initially.
Thanks to the charity Born Too Soon he had all the equipment he needed to monitor his vitals and help him with his breathing and maintain his temperature. This enabled the nurses to monitor him and bring him round if his heart stopped beating or he stopped breathing. This often happened several times a day.
They also provided a transport incubator and monitoring equipment when he got sick and had to be transferred to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, which specialises in gastrointestinal conditions in premature babies.
On Saturday the 23rd of January 2010 after 8 weeks in intensive care he was well enough for us to finally take him home.
He is now a healthy little boy and has been given the opportunity to grow up to be a perfectly healthy child. Just like any other child. Even if he did have a rather rocky start.
