Samworth Challenge · 3 April 2009

First Touch supports sick and premature babies cared for at St George’s neonatal unit in SW London. We fund state-of-the-art equipment and specialist staff training which are outside of the scope of NHS budgets, as well as a range of initiatives to support families during their stay on the unit.

Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

We are participating in the Samworth Challenge on Saturday 13th June 2009.  The challenge will take place around Coniston and Coniston Water and we are aiming to complete a 14km Walk with a height gain of 1056m, Canoe for 11km and then just to finish us all off, a bike ride of 30km with a height gain of 500m. The team also all have to complete an abseil as part of the challenge.  Visit  www.samworthbrothers-challenge.co.uk for more information.

We have chosen to support the Neonatal unit at St Georges Hospital , Tooting as Philip’s children were born and cared for there.  Isabelle & Benedict were born 13 weeks early with Isabelle weighing only 860g.  In the weeks that followed there were many ups and downs but we always knew that they were in the best place.  All the staff there are incredibly dedicated and loving and that combined with state of the art equipment ensured they survived their first few weeks.  They are now very healthy and strong three year olds! 
The money raised will go towards essential life saving equipment without which many of the tiny babies would not be here today.

So please sponsor us now!
