Motherwell pub pulls together for baby unit
KIND-hearted punters and staff at a Motherwell pub dug deep to donate money to Wishaw General's neonatal unit.
The Horseshoe Bar held a bring and buy sale, charity night and sponsored walk around Strathclyde Park to raise 2,400 for the unit.
The fundraising efforts all came about after Motherwell woman Jodene Wallace gave birth to twins Mia and Jorja, who were born 10 weeks premature.
Sadly Jorja did not survive but Mia, who was treated in the unit at Wishaw for six weeks, is now doing well and her mum was happy to be able to hand over the cheque with staff at the pub to thank hospital staff.
Jodene said: "Staff at both Wishaw and Yorhill hospitals were great. Everyone in the Wishaw unit was lovely and couldn't have done enough for me — the care they provided was very personal.
"I wanted to help raise the money to thank the staff and I can't thank everyone involved in The Horseshoe Bar who took part in these events."
