Leeds Neonatal Unit urgently need a new incubator to give premature babies the best chance of survival.

There is currently an urgent need for a new Baby LEO incubator in the maternity ward. Our current incubators are old and often break down and need repair. This puts newborns at increased risk. This state-of-the-art hybrid incubator would be used for premature babies. Please follow the link for more information about the Leeds Urgent Equipment Appeal: https://leeds-cares.org/causes/urgent-equipment/

I work as a consultant on the neonatal unit in Leeds and see first hand the difference that the right equipment can make for our most vulnerable babies. I am planning on 'Everesting' Askwith Moor, a climb in Wharfedale. Everesting involves climbing the equivalent height of Mount Everest (8,848m or 29,029ft) on a bike within a single ride, using a single climb to do so. I expect this is going to take around 15 hours to complete, so am hoping for some support in reaching our aim and providing valuable funds for the Leeds Neonatal Unit and the babies we care for.

Any excess funds raised by our Urgent Equipment Appeal will be used for other projects within the Leeds Neonatal Service.
