Waikato couple fundraise for newborn unit after losing daughter
A Waikato couple are raising money for Waikato Hospital's Newborn Intensive Care Unit in memory of their baby girl.
Mike Davies and Cindie Ritchie were helped by the unit after daughter Emily was born at 25 weeks.
She died on October 27 after becoming unexpectedly ill the previous day.
Her parents started their appeal to support the unit to help other parents, in memory of Emily and "other angel babies of the Unit" or those still fighting for their lives.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
