Mother sets out to raise money for hospital

Michelle Buttle, 29, from Pudsey, Leeds, is hoping to raise thousands of pounds to buy equipment for the hospital unit that saved the lives of her twins William and Joseph. The brothers were born prematurely last year and now Mrs Buttle plans to raise around £3,000 to buy a phototherapy unit and an apnea alarm for Leeds General Infirmary's neonatal unit.

Mrs Buttle and the twins, who will be one in April, will be taking part in a sponsored pram walk in Farnley Park on March 25. For more information visit www.justgiving.com/LGINeonatalUnit.
