On Friday we took part in a donor milk relay. It began with Serv Herts & Beds collecting the donor milk from The Hearts Milk Bank who relayed with Derbyshire Blood Bikes. They transported it up to Wetherby where they handed it over to our volunteer. It was then delivered to the Neo-Natal Unit at Sunderland Royal Hospital.
