Morton boss Dougie Imrie and his partner Lauren McCreaddie have donated a staggering £18,000 to the neonatal unit at Wishaw hospital in memory of their child Remi who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Earlier this year, the couple welcomed Remi into the world as she was born 14 weeks early weighing 1lb 4oz. Tragically after spending 20 days in the Neonatal Unit at the University Hospital in Wishaw, baby Remi passed away.

On Baby Loss Awareness week the couple returned to the hospital to deliver a £18,000 donation to the staff who supported them throughout the most difficult period.

Imrie said: “We’ll never be able to thank the staff enough for everything they did for Remi and for us.

“Those 20 days we had with her were the most special days of our lives, and the care and compassion and support we received gave us memories we’ll hold forever.”

The couple held a fundraiser at the funeral to raise funds for the unit as they want to continue fundraising for as long as they can.

McCreaddie said: “At Remi’s funeral, we had a collection for the unit, but we want to continue fundraising for as long as we can.

“It’s the very least we can do to give back to those who gave us so much- so that they can keep on helping families like ours through the most difficult journeys.”

The funds raised will be used to support the neonatal unit as well as providing help to families whose babies need to spend time in the intensive care unit.

Baby Loss Awareness week which is held annually from the 9th to the 15th October is used to support and bring together families who have suffered similar loss as well as raising awareness of the issue of Baby Loss and how you are not alone in your journey.
