This &lsquo;Level 3&rsquo; Unit cares for the sickest of newborns and premature babies. The more up-to-date life saving equipment the unit has to hand, the better they can cope with saving babies. For example, an incubator costs &pound;12,000, a ventilator &pound;25,000, etc. All money raised will go towards the purchase of life-saving equipments and facilities. As well as the pram push there will be activities for babies and toddlers and a raffle with great prizes. This day will be ideal for mums, dads, kids and friends to spend time together and have fun whilst raising money for a good cause.</span><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">More information on our Justgiving page - www.justgiving.com/pushingforNICU or to register contact us on </span><a href="mailto:pushingforNICU@yahoo.co.uk"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: blue; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">pushingforNICU@yahoo.co.uk</span></a><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">.</span><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Join our facebook page - Facebook.com/pushingforNICU.
