Thanks to everyone that's donated to our Fundraiser. We raised nearly £5000 on our Charity night. We are hoping to hit £5000 by donations. Please read Thomas's story below.

Thomas was born at 27weeks and 4 days and was the size of a 25 week old baby. His growth in the wombhad slowed down due to his mother developing pre-eclampsia. He wasdelivered on the 12th February 2015 by emergency caesarean section atBarnsley hospital weighing 1lb 11oz and was extremely sick. After 3 days due tohaving difficulty with ventilation, heart failure, bleed on his brain and underdeveloped lungs he was rushed to Hull women & children's hospital for4 weeks with his parents living in the hospital with him. He was returned backto Barnsley after this and continued to progress. Thomas is making remarkableprogress and is now 7 months old and weighs 16lb 4oz  and is makingremarkable progress. We cannot thank Barnsley Neo-natal unit enough for savingThomas's life and their hard work.

State-of-the-art equipmentwill be provided to enable the Special Care Baby Unit team to continue their fantasticcare and enhance their capabilities. The unit will sit on the same level as theBarnsley Birthing Centre, which means that the babies will not have to beexposed to different environments and different temperature changes, nor willthey have to be taken to the top floin an elevator.
