CROYDON, U.K. - eMusicWire -- The Ickle Pickles Children's Charity is delighted to announce the appointment of Gemma Collis as its new ambassador. A four-time Paralympian and celebrated Wheelchair Fencer for Great Britain, Gemma brings her remarkable journey and inspiring story to support premature babies and their families through the charity's vital work.
Gemma's story (link below) is nothing short of extraordinary. Born prematurely at just 29 weeks and weighing a mere 2 pounds 11 ounces, Gemma was an 'Ickle Pickle' herself. Her early arrival into the world was fraught with challenges, as detailed by her mother, Karen. From being transferred to the John Radcliffe Hospital due to an infection outbreak, to overcoming the hurdles of being born with Placenta Previa, Gemma's early life was a testament to resilience and the exceptional care provided by medical professionals.
Reflecting on her journey, Gemma shares, "I am enormously honoured and proud to be named an Ambassador for the Ickle Pickles Children's Charity. The care that my Mum and I received when I was born prematurely has played a crucial role in shaping the life I am fortunate to live today. The work Ickle Pickles does ensures that premature babies like me have the best chance to thrive and achieve their dreams."

Gemma's career is a testament to her determination and talent. In 2018, she became the first British woman to win a Wheelchair Fencing World Cup, a feat she repeated in 2023 when she ascended to the World No. 1 ranking. With over 20 World Cup medals, a Commonwealth Fencing Championships Gold, and a European Championships Silver in 2024, Gemma embodies the spirit of perseverance and excellence.
As Ickle Pickles' new ambassador, Gemma is committed to raising awareness and supporting their epic fundraising challenge, the 28k Incubator Push. "I cannot wait to begin working with the charity to ensure every Ickle Pickle gets the start they deserve," Gemma said enthusiastically.
On Saturday, the 7th of June, the 28K Incubator Push charity event promises an epic day of endurance – 28 laps to raise 28K in honour of the tiniest patients yet the biggest fighters.
With Gemma Collis on board, the charity hopes to rally communities and hospitals nationwide to join its one-of-a-kind fundraiser on the 7th of June and inspire teams to sign up for a lap or register a team and take turns to push a road-worthy incubator for 28km around Crystal Palace Park to raise 28k for an incubator and vital neonatal equipment.
