A CHIPPENHAM couple whose daughter was saved by staff at the Royal United Hospital in Bath have organised a fundraising campaign.

Lauren Booth was six weeks old when she was rushed to hospital with meningitis. She was critically ill and stopped breathing, and spent three weeks in hospital.

Her parents Lisa-Jayne and Paul Booth pledged to raise as much as they could for the Forever Friends appeal before Lauren's first birthday on March 19 next year.

The next fundraising event is a Christmas bazaar at the Neeld Hall in Chippenham on December 8, from 10am to 4pm.
