Girl power - over £11,800 raised at the Hydro Active Women's Challenge in Hyde Park

What a day! The sun shone on the 20,000 women who took part in today's Hydro Active 5K run in Hyde Park - and especially on the 30 Friends of the Neonatal Unit. Their combined efforts have raised over £11,800 for the charity - what an incredible achievement. The team even included a couple of NNU graduates -Edward, who got a push round from Mum Lizzie Smalldon, and Molly, who completed the race with Grandma Angela Hudson. A huge thank you to everyone who took part.
