The Hospital
We are fundraising for The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation
The Royal Hospital special care baby unit holds a special place in our hearts. Jayne, our Team Captain, gave birth to baby Joe at the Royal. Joe needed special attention as he came 9 weeks early and also had a serious heart issue. Joe unfortunately passed away in April 2019 aged 5 weeks and 1 day.
During his time at The Royal, Joe was treated with such kindness and love by the team at the hospital that Jayne and her husband Mike felt compelled to do something positive for the ward. In Nov 2019 the Inaugural 24hr Spinathon took place. The event raised a whopping $180,000 and purchased life saving equipment for the unit.
This year much needed funds are being raised so that one of Joe's doctors, Dr Tim Schindler, can conduct life saving research to help save the lives of premature babies. Please help us change the lives of premature babies and their families.

Dearest Jayne, I have gone through a few video clicks and learn what you and Mike have been doing to help more premature babies to have chances to live in memory of Joe. I can feel you both deeply and I admire how you turn such great grief to strength and hope! I am sure Joe will be smiling up in the sky when he sees his lovely parents and friends to spin the bikes overnight for him and more premature babies! Love you and wish the Hope and love from Joe continue to grow! In loving memory of Joe Blackwell Love Cindy and the family

Hi Tiger, good luck with the spinathon. As discussed, an average cycling speed of 20 km per hour for 4 hours is 60 km. If you manage to cover this distance (60 km) in the time allotted another $250 donation will be made. Love Dad P.S. You may have noted that math is not my strong suit.
