Ada is the daughter of our GP Assistant, Rachel, and her arrival into the world was much earlier than expected. Born at just 32 weeks, Ada spent the first part of her life in the Neonatal Unit at Princess Royal Hospital, where she received exceptional care from an incredible team of doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals. Their expertise, compassion and unwavering support gave Ada the very best start and helped her family through one of the most challenging times of their lives.

As Ada approaches this very special milestone, we wanted to celebrate not only how far she has come, but also give something back to the unit that cared for her.

To honour Ada's journey, we're taking on a 32-hour cycling challenge – one hour for every week of her pregnancy before she was born.

During the week of Ada's birthday, we'll have an exercise bike set up in our waiting room, with staff, patients, friends, family and members of our local community all invited to take part. Whether someone cycles for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour or even longer, every minute will count towards our collective goal of 32 hours.

This challenge isn't about athletic ability – it's about coming together as a community to support an amazing cause. Every pedal turned represents hope, resilience and gratitude for the care that gave Ada the chance to grow into the happy, thriving little girl she is today.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go towards supporting the Neonatal Unit at Princess Royal Hospital, helping them continue to provide outstanding care, specialist equipment and support for babies born too soon and their families during what can be one of the most difficult times of their lives.

The team at Princess Royal Hospital gave Ada the best possible start when she needed it most. This is our opportunity to say thank you and help ensure other families receive the same incredible care, compassion and hope that meant so much to Rachel, her family and to Ada.

Thank you for supporting our challenge and helping us celebrate Ada's first birthday in such a meaningful way. Together, let's cycle 32 hours for 32 weeks, honour Ada's remarkable journey, and give something back to the people who helped make it possible.
