The Neonatal Care Unit had some very special visitors in this week, twins Florence and Freya. โค๏ธ

The twins were cared for at RUH Bath for 58 days when they were born early at 29 weeks. Their parents, Abby and Jake, stayed in the hospitalโ€™s parent accommodation throughout the twinsโ€™ stay.

To give back to the unit and celebrate the twinsโ€™ 1st birthday, Jake and his siblings, Molly and Charlie, raised ยฃ2,373.75 by completing the Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours!

Thank you for supporting the RUH, Jake, Molly and Charlie. You are incredible! ๐ŸŒŸ

Hazel and her dog Pepper ran the Bristol to Bath marathon last month, running up and down hills to raise money for the Childrenโ€™s department at RUH Bath.

Completing the challenge in 5 hours and 21 minutes (with Pepper joining Hazel for the final 10 miles from Bitton), they raised an amazing ยฃ714 for the hospital.

โ€œPepper has always been my training buddy, so she's used to it - and fitter than me, I reckon!โ€ jokes Hazel. โ€œShe's 10 years old, so not a spring chicken, but she loves running with me.โ€

โ€œThe paediatrics department is fantastic and has looked after both of my children in one way or another (including a week's stay after a nasty asthma attack last year). It's important to me and many other parents and carers in the area that the team gets what they need to continue providing a fab service. Every little helps, right?โ€

We couldnโ€™t agree more! Thank you, Hazel and Pepper! ๐ŸŒŸ

โœจ Every little light is remembered here at the RUHโœจ

This Baby Loss Awareness Week, we invite anyone affected by pregnancy loss, miscarriage and baby loss to visit our Little Lights dedication page.

Little Lights is an online space to remember, reflect and honour the lives, hopes and memories that continue to hold a special place in our hearts.

Every experience of loss is unique. You may wish to share a photo, write a message or simply add a name. Whatever feels right for you, your dedication will become part of a collective space of love, remembrance and awareness.

Together, these tributes shine a light on experiences that are often carried quietly, while helping others know they are not alone.

Together, we honour every loss, every story and every little light. Add your dedication here: https://blaw.memorypage.org/

How does 50 holes of golf and 500,000 darts points, all to be completed by a team within 24 hours, sound? Well, thatโ€™s exactly what Gary did to give back to the Intensive Care Unit at RUH Bath raising an incredible ยฃ3,552.62!

โ€œThe day was amazing!โ€ says Gary. โ€œWe even had a hole in one at the golf! It was unbelievable. We eventually finished off our challenge at 11.30pm after starting at 7.00am. Lots of sore arms and bad backs at the end but it was totally worth it!โ€

Garyโ€™s dad was cared for in the ICU after suffering multiple organ failure in June. He returned home after 5 weeks.

โ€œAs his family, there are no words that can truly describe what it feels like to see someone you love lying in an ICU bed, surrounded by machines, tubes and monitors, and not knowing what the next few hours will bring. All we could do was hope. And while we were frightened, we also witnessed something incredibly powerful. We saw the dedication, compassion and skill of the ICU doctors, nurses and wider team who worked tirelessly around the clock to keep our dad alive.โ€

Thank you for supporting the RUH, Gary! ๐Ÿ’—

Baby Loss Awareness Week takes place from 9 to 15 October and is a time to remember and honour babies lost during or after pregnancy, as well as pregnancies that ended through miscarriage. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness, offer support, and recognise the lasting impact that loss can have on parents, families and loved ones.

If you have been affected by pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth or the loss of a baby, everyone is invited to add a butterfly or leaf to the RUH Maternity remembrance display. The display can be found on the glass windows next to the door leading to the Jubilee Garden. Materials to write your baby's name or a personal message are available from the RUH Bath Spiritual Care Centre.

If you're unable to visit in person, you can honour your baby through Little Lights, our online remembrance space where families can share dedications, remember their babies, and find comfort in a community of others who understand loss.

Together, these individual tributes, online and at our hospital create something powerful: a collective community honouring loved and remembered babies, while helping to raise awareness of pregnancy and baby loss.
