Story

I will be strapped to the top of a Boeing Stearman. On the 2 April (my little baby’s 1st birthday by due date) The aeroplane will fly between 100ft and 700ft and speeds between 80mph and 110mph

The more money I raise for this amazing charity the higher I will go and the even more I raise the fast I will go 🙈

Covid is the reason for our NICU Journey. I caught Covid & couldn’t fight it. It was decided after being in hospital for a gruelling 3 days of absolute hell that I needed a emergency C-section at 30 weeks to save mine & my baby’s life. Our beautiful daughter was born weighing 3.5lbs, I was sent straight to intensive care & her to NICU.

We was keep apart for the longest 14 days, she was transferred to a different hospital and placed in category 3 care, she was ventilated for the first week of her life!

To say it was emotional meeting her for the first time is an understatement. She spent a total of 7 weeks in NICU then was discharged needing full time oxygen & meds. Today, 11 months on she is off the oxygen & doing ever so well. 

I will be forever in debt to the NHS for saving mine & my beautiful baby girls life ❤

The NHS cares for over 90,000 Ickle Pickles every year in specialised Neonatal Units and my aim is to raise as much as I can so any sponsorship money is gratefully received and will go towards purchasing vital neonatal equipment for hospitals that desperately need it!
