smart2venice - Raising money for Gloucester Royal Hospital's Special Care Baby Unit

Craig and Nathan were honored to drive the smart car at the front of the 25th Anniversary Incubator Push for GRH's SCBU. It was a great day. Thanks to Matt Jackson for the photos and video, click below to view..................

Archie Kift, son of Nathan and Katie Kift was born on 4th August at 1.30 in the morning, 8 weeks early weighing only 1lb 15 ounces. He spent 7 weeks in Gloucester Royal Hospital's Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU).

Without the expert care given to him during these first 7 weeks Archie would not be here.

We are fundraising for the unit and their associated charity, the Scoo B Doo Fund, please take a look at their website www.scoo-b-doo.co.uk/

You can learn more about Archie's first 3 months, and SCBU on the About Page.

logos4polos.com have supplied us with some amazing customised clothing for our trip. Craig and I were amazed by the quality and the amount of merchandise they have donated to our event.

Thank you so much to everyone there for such a kind donation.

I would highly recommend their merchandise, the best I've personally seen.

We would like to say a huge thank you to wellsmart.co.uk, where we spent the day on Saturday. Whilst the specialist mechanics gave the Smart the once over we were able to have a look around the biggest selection of quality 'Smarts' we've ever seen. We both fell i love with a Brabus Roadster! (pictured left).

The Smart was MOT'd (and passed!)

If you are interested in buying, or already have a Smart, I really encourage you to click the link below and pay them a visit. After spending a day with their team, I won't buy a Smart from anywhere else!

Nathan was interviewed for the 'John Rockley Show' (Mon-Fri 9am-12noon BBC Radio Gloucestershire). smart2venice want to thank John and his team for all their help.

We are also hoping to be on giving updates from the trip.

We visited Gloucester Royal Hospital's Special Care Baby Unit today to deliver £400 worth of brand new premature baby clothes.

It was wonderful to see some of the nurses again (pictured).

Archie was able to visit the exact place where he spent the first three weeks of his life.

Here he is standing up in the parents waiting room, where mummy and daddy spent hours and hours! It was great to go back there with him.
