Jess runs to raise £300 for Special Baby Care Unit!
A big thank you to Jessica Abbotts who has raised £330 for the neonatal unit at Heartlands by taking part in the Knowle Fun Run!
Having never run more than 5km before Jessica faced a big challenge so as an incentive to run faster she thought it would be nice to raise money for a charity that means something to her.
Jessica said: “The Heartlands Hospital Special Care Baby Unit looked after my son Barnaby when he was born unexpectedly six weeks premature in December 2014 so I would like to give back something to the hospital charity as a way of saying thank you. The run was enjoyable but it was a very hot day!”
Sian Averill, Fundraising Manager for Heartlands Hospital Charity said: “We are extremely grateful to Jessica for her donation to the Heartlands Hospital Special Care Baby Unit which will help to purchase really useful equipment for the unit."
