Laura, aged just 23, lived with her partner John on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. Full of life and excited to become a mum for the first time, everything was going well until week 20 of her pregnancy, when she developed pre-eclampsia and needed an emergency operation to deliver her daughter, Bree.

In November, Emily Bayley will be jumping out of a plane - but this isn’t just a thrill-seeker’s quest. It’s a mission to give back to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Royal Stoke University Hospital, the unit that saved her two little superheroes, Tommy and Carter.

Last month, Oliver Redmond and a group of friends took on the challenge of climbing Snowdon to raise money for Ward 228 at UHNM.
