Story

In May 2020 Vienna was born with a congenital condition which required life saving surgery, she was treated at the Neonatal unit at Southampton Hospital for a month until she was well enough to come home to her family. The support they gave us was invaluable and we would love to raise some money for this fantastic cause. My mum and her mates will be completing an assault course dressed as babies, this is a real challenge for them so please sponsor them and help us raise as much money as possible Thank you 

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which provides specialist care to sick term and pre-term (premature) newborn babies.The state-of-the-art facility is located at the Princess Anne Hospital, Southampton. This has 37 baby cots, 23 intensive/high dependency cots and 14 special care cots.It is one of the largest neonatal units in the country treating around 900 babies each year, from Southampton, Poole & Bournemouth, Chichester, Dorchester, Basingstoke, the Isle of Wight, Salisbury, Winchester and the Channel Islands.Babies have survived as young as 23 weeks, with some of them only weighing 460g/1lb. Picture a baby smaller than the size of your hand. Imagine the skill needed to care for and treat something that size.Money raised could go towards new equipment, more resources for families, improvements to parent facilities or additional staff training. All of which could help to improve the unit even further, ensuring babies and families receive the best care possible.
