We will be carrying and walking with Phoebe in her specialised pushchair; possibly even riding a bike with Phoebe 50miles on the IOW to raise money. This will be achieved by doing a number of separate walks at different locations on the Isle of Wight over period of however long it takes us! Yes we are mad! Winter is coming I hear you say, but we want to make the most of the time we have with Phoebe by giving her adventures and exploring the Island we live on. We will be posting our walks so you can all follow our progress.

Why are we doing it? To raise money for a second Vein Finder, but this time it is for the Children's A&E department at St Mary's Hospital Isle of Wight. This has come about after one of Phoebe's friends Esme had a traumatic experience recently when admitted to A&E via ambulance, where the doctors struggled to find a vein to give her fluids and medicine. After liaising with the hospital we discussed it wouldn't always be possible to bring their Vein Finder down from Children's Ward to A&E and thought it would be better if we could have a separate one just for using on the children admitted to A&E. The Vein Finder will help Doctors locate veins in children quicker and easier causing less discomfort for children and avoid them becoming pincushions. This piece of equipment costs around £4500.
