Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So I'm Taking the Leap – Literally! 🧗‍♀️

This year, I’m pushing myself far out of my comfort zone and abseiling down the brand-new hospital block at the L&d Hospital – something I’ve never done before, especially not on this scale!

Why am I doing it? Because in 2017, my son was cared for in the Neonatal Unit at the L&D, and I’ll never forget the compassion, dedication, and incredible care we received from that amazing team. They were there for us during one of the most emotional times of our lives, and now I want to give back in a meaningful (and slightly terrifying!) way.

Every donation will help support the vital work they do for babies and families going through those early, critical days.

Please sponsor me if you can – let’s help the heroes in the neonatal unit continue to make a difference.
