Hello Everybody....
My daughter Emilija was born was born 10 weeks prematurely in the Buscot Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading.
Emilija was born with a hole in the heart and many other complications. She survived thanks to the skill and dedication of the staff on the Buscot ward. And thanks to the very expensive technology they have there.
Thankfully, Emilija is now a very healthy (and occasionally naughty) 3 year old that can live her life to the full. We would dearly like to give something back to all those who gave so much for the care of my daughter and to help other babies and their families who may need them in the future.
The (overly ambitious) Plan…
In return for your very kind donation, I will undertake 3 major rides as detailed below. For those of you that know me well, I’m clearly no Lance Armstrong and I’m prepared to suffer for your donation.
