Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Coast to Coast Walk · 17 May 2012

The Friends of the Baby Unit was established 49 years ago (1976) to raise money for equipment for use in the intensive care of preterm and sick newborn babies being cared for on the Neonatal unit at The Royal Derby Hospital. The money raised over that time is now over £2 million pounds. Thank you

We finished the trek on the afternoon of Wednesday 30th May, 14 days after starting at Robin Hoods Bay, with sore feet and sunburn!

Starting day 5; over a quarter of the way there now. After enduring 50mph winds and horizontal rain I'm looking forward to some sunshine!

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I'm doing the Coast to Coast walk to raise money for The Royal Derby Neonatal Unit. My twin daughters were born at 28 weeks (3 months early), each weighing 2lb 10.5oz, and needed 84 days of hospital care before we could bring them home. Without the care and support of the doctors and nurses at Derby, our girls may not have turned out to be the lively little terrors that they are today!</p> <p>My Dad and I will be walking and camping the 192 miles from the North Sea at Robin Hoods Bay to the Irish Sea at St Bees, which should take us 14 days. Hopefully there may be a number of watering holes on the way...</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
