Newborn Intensive Care Unit CHARITY CRUISE, Sunday November 16

[Curly_23]

Hey guys, ive received an invitation via facebook for a very good cause to raise money for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit @ Canberra Hospital. This is to be held the Sunday before Marques in the Park, so will be a good opportunity to get the cars out and make sure they are in tip top condition!

Of course this is for a great cause as well, raising money for little bubs who struggle from the minute they are born. Stickers can be purchased to display on the car, to help raise money .. and there will also be a raffle with prizes to be won. Mitch has already said he cant make it, so if anyone interested could please RSVP to me, so that i can get an idea for numbers. If we can draw a reasonable number ill try and organise for someone to tow the chuck wagon .. and may chip in towards the food and then donate some of the money raised by our own BBQ.

It will be a great day ... and sounds like plenty of cars will be attending, so it would be awesome to raise some money and get some celicas and yotas out there to be seen. Anyone who can attend this event please try to!!!

RH Charity Cruise 2008
Canberra Hospital NICU

This Charity Cruise is to help raise money for the Canberra Hospital’s Newborn intensive care unit
For parents like our close friends Matt and Lisa Opie who have had to go through the hard times of seeing their premature and sick babies fight for their lives.
Lisa Opie as an example has had 3 miscarriages in the past 3 years trying to have her and her husband Matthew Opie's second child.
In Feb 2008 Lisa fell pregnant for the 4th time, More than ever Lisa and Matt wanted to have this baby, and get through the nine months of pregnancy with little to no complications .
Everything was going according to plan until Sunday 28/6/2008 when things started to head
down hill as it did with her last 3 pregnancies, Lisa was admitted into The Canberra Hospital straight away and the doctors were able to prolong her pregnancy and she was kept in the hospital under close monitoring until the 23/08/08 when their 2nd baby girl was born, MYLIE FAITH OPIE.
With the fast and experienced staff of the NICU, they took Mylie and gave her the assistance she needed. She was 14 weeks premature, and had a 50% chance of survival as she was not developed enough to handle the world outside of her mothers womb without assistance.
Thanks to the NICU Mylie was given a real chance of survival, with at least one of their qualified Nurses and Doctors at Mylies side 24/7 on constant breathing systems, and other life supporting and monitoring machines.
Mylie is now 6 weeks old growing, putting on weight and becoming a stronger little girl every single day. She now weighs 1135 grams and a little shorter then 30cm in length.
Without the support of the Canberra Hospital and the NICU, Sadly Mylie and other premature babies just like her would have had no chance of survival.

At the cost of approximately $2000 per baby, per day in an incubator they need our support to fund these costs, to help sick and premature babies survive in our world. We would like you to come and show your support and appreciation and join in this fundraiser for the Canberra Hospital's NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit). This special place in our hospital not only helps parents and their babies in Canberra but all of Canberra's surrounding areas.

Shall gladly be there.

[Cuzzo]

What kind of people are going to go?

No f wits i hope. More than a good enough cause hopefully toymods can get onto this in numbers.

[Curly_23]

Hey Cuzzo .. yeh hopefully no dickheads. Rush Hour are apparently going to be there though, and they have a pretty bad rep around Canberra ,,, especially with the Police. So people are a bit hesitant because of that. I was hoping to get some good numbers from the CCG and Toymods so we can just all hang out together, and only associate with cool people lol. Hopefully the word gets out and we can raise some cash and have a good day though. Cheres

[SumKid]
