Thanks for visiting our fundraising page for Team Wonder!

Hugo is 1 on the 11th of July.

As many of you know, our little man came to this earth in quite a dramatic fashion and fought very hard to have the beautiful life he has today. He would not be here without the incredible work of RPA Newborn Care.

RPA Newborn Care is the intensive care unit for sick and premature babies at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) in Camperdown. It is the largest maternity hospital in New South Wales, caring for all the very small and sick babies born in RPA and other babies who are transferred from hospitals around the state, like Hugo. Around 900 babies are treated in RPA Newborn Care every year and in the 36 years of service over 29,000 babies have been cared for.

Funding is critical to ensure the best and most up to date equipment is available to maintain the world class standard of this intensive care unit. Current equipment needs include a neonatal intensive care monitoring system, which continuously displays the baby's vital signs, immediately notifying staff of the slightest change; phototherapy units to treat jaundice, which affects around 50% of babies, and ventilators, providing the "the breath of life" for many premature and sick newborns. Hugo was one of these babies. Without ventilation he would not have survived.

Not only did RPA Newborn Care save Hugo's life, they provided Lauren with 3 weeks of lodging only 20 steps to the NICU where she could be by his side at any hour. A social worker, lactation consultant, the newborn care support team and of course specialist consultants, nurses and physiotherapists were all available, making our bumpy start as a family as smooth and supported as it could be.

Rather than gifts to celebrate our little lion heart's first birthday we ask that you contribute to Little Wonder, the fundraising arm of RPA Newborn Care, to assist them to continue their incredible life saving work. Any amount is appreciated, nothing is too small. Our company, iProtect, will match every dollar we raise!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our efforts in raising money for this wonderful organisation!

RPA New Born Care enabled us to become a family. Gratitude doesn't seem to be big enough for the depth of thanks we feel, but we do. Thank you for saving our boy. The last year, without Hugo, is unimaginable. Every consultant, dr, nurse and support staff played a role. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We sincerely hope our fundraising page celebrating our little boy's first birthday helps you continue your life saving work.
