Story

Myself, Tom, Callum, Ryan & Ben will be walking the entire Cleveland Way (109 miles) in just 4 days to raise money for Friends of the Baby Unit at Derby Hospital.

This charity is incredibly close to my heart. Both of my children were born prematurely, Arthur was born at 34 weeks, and Ada was born at a day short of 33 weeks and they both spent nearly two weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit. During that time, we experienced first-hand the dedication of the staff and the life-saving equipment that gives vulnerable babies the very best chance.

The care we received is something we will never forget, and this is our way of giving something back.

Every donation will go towards funding vital equipment such as mobile incubators, helping ensure that other families going through similar experiences have access to the best possible care when they need it most.

This challenge won’t be easy — long days, some serious steps, and very little rest — but it’s nothing compared to what so many families and babies face every day.

If you can, please support us. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference.

Thank you 💙🩷
