A father whose twins spent months in hospital after being born prematurely is aiming to roller skate 1,000 miles to raise money for a neonatal charity. Ross Pollock, 47, from Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire, said Jack and Jasmine were born just 25 weeks into their mother’s pregnancy in July 2014.
Both spent months in the neonatal intensive care unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth – they are now seven years old, and Mr Pollock said he wants to give something back.
“We all have our challenges in life – the twins, what they went through, was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through,” he told the PA news agency. “I don’t think anything can set you up for just how difficult it is.
