Lauren's Merry Miles

Leighton Hospital is where I was born and where my mum Carole works.
I am fundraising for the Children's Emergency Care appeal.
When children need emergency medical care it can be a very scary time for them and for their families. Strange surroundings, noises, people and equipment can affect how children cope with a visit to hospital and how they feel about it once they go home.
The appeal will help to fund two interactive floor projectors for the waiting areas and sensory play wall fixed activity units in the waiting areas and assessment rooms.
They also want to purchase a piece of high-tech clinical equipment that the medical and nursing team will use to enhance the care that very poorly babies up to the age of three months attending the unit receive. It’s not an essential piece of kit, but it will make some procedures easier and quicker to carry out in an emergency.

I am doing my Merry Miles to help local families.
