'We wanted to do something special for her in her name'
A Nottinghamshire couple whose daughter died at 30 days old have raised enough money to help every premature baby born in the city for an entire year. Leanne and Ryan, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, lost their daughter Rosie in March after she was born early at 24 weeks.
"As soon as we had one it was a game-changer... it provided us with a lot of comfort." Rosie was born at King's Mill Hospital on February 15, and was described as a "miracle" by her parents, who had been trying for a baby for 10 years and had just started a first round of IVF. "She defied the odds in every way. Everything we anticipated to be a challenge she did the opposite and smashed it. She was stubborn like me and Rosie had the most beautiful red thick hair," continued Leanne.
"We obviously would've loved to get a life time with her but it wasn't meant to be." She said losing Rosie had been an "absolutely awful" time for her and Ryan, whose parents had died shortly before within six weeks of each other.
