Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My son Fred was born just over 4 weeks premature and need a lot of help to breath in the early part of his life. He was in an incubator for 60 hours in the Buscot Ward. My wife and I strongly believe that if it was not for the nurses of that ward Fred wouldn't be here today. While speaking with the nurses we where shocked to find out that although it is funded by the NHS there isn't enough money to keep upto date with equipment. We felt we had to do something as most of our friends and family will have their children in that hospital.
The Buscot Ward specialises in neo-natal care and the care for babies requiring intensive, high dependency or special care. On average 6,000 babies are born at the Royal Berkshire each year and 1 in 10 of those will spend time in the Buscot Ward. We would like to raise money to buy an incubator for the ward, which will help save more babies lives. This could be your next child, grandchild, niece or nephew.
