Suzanne Radford and Angela Hegarty held their annual First Touch Ball on Saturday October 7th.

The pair are long time supporters of the charity. The ball, hosted by The Hilton in Croydon, welcomed 160 guests and raised £5667. The funds will be used to refurbish the Parents' Sitting Room at the neonatal unit at St George’s Hospital in Tooting.

The event took place just before the start of National Baby Loss Week. Suzanne's precious daughter, Georgia, was cared for at the neonatal unit but tragically passed away. Suzanne was a founding member of First Touch charity, and raised funds for the unit that cared for Georgia.

Louise Williams, Charity Coordinator at First Touch, thanked the pair for their tireless hard work to help families with premature and sick babies, “Suzie and Angela are a huge part of our small charity. Thanks to their previous fundraising we were able to make the Parents’ Sitting Room a relaxing and pleasant place for families and hospital staff.”

Suzanne and Angela said, "It takes a year of hard work to organise but when we stand looking around on the night and see what we've achieved and the enjoyment on everyone’s face, it really makes it all worthwhile."
