My story
In September 2012 I will be walking the 200 miles from Manchester to my place of birth, St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey, Surrey.
St Peter’s Hospital has a renowned specialist Early Births Unit, with 9 cot spaces caring for babies born prematurely and with the complications that come with being born early and underweight. The reason this cause is so close to me is because, in the early months of 1978, I was one of their little patients, born two months early and hitting the scales at 4lbs 0oz. The Early Births Unit is fundraising to expand the unit to add an extra 3 cot spaces and buy the specialist equipment – each cot space costs around £80,000 to equip fully. My walk starts on Friday 14 September, and I’ll be stopping at Buxton, Matlock Bath, Derby, Coalville and Nuneaton. After a day’s “breather” in Nuneaton I’ll be pressing on through Rugby, Towcester, Leighton Buzzard, Hemel Hempstead and Slough before arriving in Chertsey on Tuesday 25 September. Thank you very much in advance for any donation you can make. Big or small it all helps.

Thank you everyone who has donated so far, I'm amazed at your generosity! Thank you also to the unknown 14 people so far who have Liked this page on Facebook, it all spreads the word. Sarah x

Good luck Sarah! I hope the sun keeps shining for you. Perhaps now would be a good time to invest in some skate shoes? ;)

An emergency Caesarean saved me, but not my twin brother. For Andrew and my brother, I'm donating.
