A GRATEFUL mum who took on a 62-mile mission has raised over £1,680 for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, after medics saved her two-year-old son, Oscar's, life just days after he was born.

Mum of three, Catherine Robinson, from Stoke-On-Trent, took on Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity's 62 Miles in October challenge, completing the distance over the course of the month, to say thank you to the hospital.

Catherine first found out that her baby's journey wasn't going to be straight forward when an abnormality relating to his heart was spotted during her 20-week pregnancy scan. After further scans with specialist doctors Catherine was told her baby would have one of three conditions, that could only be confirmed when he arrived.

That day came in August 2023, when Oscar was born at Catherine's local hospital, at just 39 weeks' gestation. To Catherine's distress, Oscar wasn't breathing and was rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where he was stabilised with oxygen, adrenaline and other medications.
