In the months after the birth of her son Adam at Royal Shrewsbury hospital in 2011, Charlotte Cheshire just felt grateful that the NHS had managed to save his life after he contracted group B streptococcus meningitis (GBS) and was placed in an induced coma.
“My husband did a 23-mile sponsored walk for the hospital, raising just over £4,000, six months after Adam was born. We sent the money to them and had a photo op in the ICU with all the staff. We just didn’t know,” she said.
