Bikers 'Ride Out for Prems' generous donations to Western Trust Neonatal Units

THE Western Health and Social Care Trust (Western Trust) gratefully acknowledges generous donations to its Neonatal Units from a charity motorcycle group, Bikers Ride Out for Prems (premature babies), who completed a four-day tour around Ireland.

30 bikes visited 12 hospitals that raised money to purchase medical equipment for Neonatal Units across the Island of Ireland.

For the past 10 years, Bikers Ride Out for Prems have included the Hospitals in Northern Ireland in their contributions.

Frances O’Callaghan, deputy Sister, Neonatal Unit at the South West Acute Hospital, Enniskillen, said: “We are delighted to welcome back the charity Bikers Ride Out for Prems’ group to the South West Acute Hospital, Enniskillen.

“We are very grateful for the continued support from this group who have made generous donations to the Human Milk Bank, Maternity and Neonatal Units at the Hospital over the past number of years.

"This year the group have kindly donated a number of items to both Neonatal Units at the South West Acute Hospital and Altnagelvin Hospital.

“Thank you to the motorcyclists and their friends and support vehicles for meeting up with bikers and to the PSNI for escorting everyone safely to both hospitals.”
