A couple who spent 86 days in hospital with their premature daughter are trying to raise £15,000 for the hospital that treated her.

James Duke and his sister Hannah are undertaking a 280 mile walk from Bramhall in Stockport to Long Ditton over 12 days to raise the money for The Alfie Roland Foundation supporting The Little Roo Neonatal Fund at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey.

James, and his wife Gemma, set up The Alfie Roland Foundation in memory of our their son Alfie who passed away at 26 days old.

Their twins were born at 26 weeks but Alfie developed an infection and lost his fight leading the couple to create the foundation in his name while raising money for St. Peter’s NICU as a thank you.

James and Hannah have started their walk and are due to finish in Long Ditton on August the 9th.

James and his wife, Gemma have been telling their story to Jackie’s Jacqui Kerr.
