For all babies born to early

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Tiny Lives Trust and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Tiny Lives Trust: The Tiny Lives Trust is a registered charity that helps to care for premature and sick newborn babies, their mothers and families in the Special Care Baby Unit of the Newcastle Neonatal Service based in Ward 35 of the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. The Neonatal Unit (also known as the Special Care Baby Unit) is the Regional Centre of Excellence and provides the care for all preterm and sick newborn babies, and also cares for babies who require surgery, cardiac input or respiratory support. On the 24th August 2021 Our beautiful twins Sylvie and Wynn were born 10 weeks early at 30 weeks. Sylvie, although very small and precious headed off to a great start. Wynn however at only 4 days old contracted a life threatening infection called NECK. Without a moment to think he was whisked away In a huge incubater and travelled what seemed at the time the longest journey from Sunderland Royal to the RVI. From the moment he got there I knew he was in the best hands of care, immediately we were given great support from the team whether it was not having to think about paying to park or knowing there was a sandwich and a drink in the family room for when you were just feeling exhausted but didn't want to leave your baby to grab food. As many parents of NICU babies know the moments you can stay at your babies bedside are very very precious. During Covid siblings were simply not aloud to be in the neo natal, our eldest Son at home was sent photos, notes, footprints, stories of being a big brother to a premature baby. It was a long 7 weeks but Tiny Lives helped fill in the huge gap within our family with little kind gestures. Despite how busy they were doing an amazing job looking after our brave boy. Not only did they include our Son at home but they also found ways to connect our 3 children aswell as our sweet Sylvie Rose who was separated from her twin brother for weeks. We can't begin to put into words what an awful time this was for us, as this was not just words it was real and it was our life at that time. Without Tiny Lives I don't think we would have swam like we did, we would have sunk. Thank you so much.

I will be cycling the coast to coast in 1 day on the 10/09/2022 followed by running the Great North run on 11/09/2022 to raise funds for this great charity.
