From Ross: Boston’s Pilgrim Hospital was the birthplace place of both Cameron and Elliott. As many will know, we spent an extended period of time with Cameron in the neo-natal ward post birth, 2 weeks to be exact, in a time where the world was turned upside with the effects of covid. The care my received by each staff member was incredible and really helped myself and his mum through this difficult time and for that I’d like to take the opportunity to give back to the ward.

From Aidan: I’m fundraising for the neonatal department at Boston Pilgrim Hospital because of the incredible care my family received during the birth of our first child. What began as a normal delivery quickly turned into an emergency, as our baby had meconium in the womb and became stuck during labour, leading to an urgent C-section. It was a frightening time, but the midwives and medical team were nothing short of outstanding—calm, compassionate, and completely in control throughout. Their support and professionalism made all the difference in bringing our little one safely into the world, and this is our way of saying thank you and giving something back to help other families in similar situations.
