British soap star Jane Danson fights to save maternity ward
Coronation Street actress Jane Danson recently appeared on the talent show Soapster Superstar to lend support for a campaign to save the maternity ward and special care unit of Fairfield Hospital in Bury, England, where she gave birth to son Harry 9 months ago.  The facility has been marked for closure in favor of the formation of three 'super hospitals' which are being planned for the region. 

Jane -- in the course of her fund-raising efforts -- revealed just how personal an issue this is for her family, including husband Robert Beck, also a British soap star. 

It's close to my heart and my little boy was in the special care unit for a brief period.  It seems quite a shame that the unit could be closed.  I raised a bit of money but I would have liked to raise more.  I really feel strongly about Fairfield's maternity unit.
