A Tameside teenager is combining his love of Lego and dinosaurs to hold a special, one-off themed exhibition this Sunday (28 April) to raise money for Tameside Hosptial’s neonatal unit.
Cameron McWiggan’s Jurassic Bricks showcase will raise money for a unit close to his family’s heart.
His younger brother, James, was stillborn at full term and three years later, sister Amy spent ten weeks in the neonatal unit after being born prematurely at 30 weeks.
And the lego-loving youngster is now combining his passions to raise money for those who cared for his family.
The event takes place at Dukinfield Golf Club on Sunday 28 April between 10am-4pm, with the £1 entry fee going towards the fundraising goal.
The family-friendly event will include life-sized dinosaurs and an array of dazzling Lego displays including flowers, cars, dinosaurs and characters from the Star Wars series.
He will be joined by other members of Northern Brickworks, a community for adult Lego enthusiasts.
Cameron said: “I would like to thank all the staff from both departments of the hospital for the support, care and dedication they give to so many families within the local community.
“I am looking forward to the event, there should be lots of great displays and we hope to raise lots of money.”
All funds raised will go towards improving our neonatal unit facilities for families, as well as the Harebell Suite, a dedicated bereavement suite situated on the Labour Ward to support bereaved parents.
