My story

 
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As you may know my nephew, Lewis was born 13 weeks early to my sister Jayne and her husband Trevor in May 2006.  He was a tiny miracle at just 1lb 9oz and the staff of Great Western Hospital Special Baby Care Unit (SCBU) were absolutely fantastic in helping him and his parent in his fight for life. 

With the support and hard work of the Doctors and Nurses in SCBU Lewis was discharged and is now a healthy, if small but perfect 22lb toddler doing all the things that toddlers do (much to the exasperation of his parents).

I hope that you will join me in helping to raise money for SCBU. Don't worry I'll be doing the hard work - a tandem parachute jump, all I ask of you is that you sponsor me to do it. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Swindon & Marlborough NHS Trust Charitable Fund gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Thank you so much for your support.

Karen
