A YOUNG mother will raise money for two hospital departments that have helped her baby daughter and her grandmother.

Gemma Wallace's daughter, Tiffany-Rose, was born with a urine infection which led to life-threatening problems with her kidneys.

She spent the first three months of her life in the neonatal intensive care baby unit at Royal Derby Hospital, formerly known as Derby City General.

Now aged 17 months, she has made a good recovery.

Gemma, 20, of Abingdon Street, Allenton, is set to show her thanks to the hospital department by taking on a sponsored bike ride.

She will also raise funds for the Macmillan Nightingale Unit, where grandmother Rose-Annie Pickett was given care.

Gemma will set off on the journey todaywith her friend, Isha Butler, 20, of Whitewell Gardens, Allenton. They will cycle 23 miles from the Nightingale Macmillan Unit to Alstonefield, near Ashbourne.
