April Eleanor Rose Jackson was born on the 24th October 2015, weighing a tiny 2lb 5oz. She arrived 10 weeks early, when her mum, Lisa, was rushed into hospital with severe pre-eclampsia.

April was a tough cookie and pulled through, cared for by the James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough and the special care unit at the Cumberland Infirmary. 

Therefore April, her parents and friends wanted to give something back, to help more babies born prematurely and their families, who really need support during that difficult time.

Any money raised also goes towards The April Eleanor Rose Jackson Sunshine Fund.
