Teresa will take the 40-minute flight over Liverpool in an adapted plane.
“I am taking to the skies for two babies who are close relatives of mine – including one who was born at only 28 weeks,” she said.
“The vulnerability of newborn babies is a very personal part of my own story.
“Their experiences made me want to do something practical to support premature and newborn babies – as well as the wonderful staff who care for them.”
While she is nervous ahead of the challenge, Teresa said she was reassured by the presence of a co-pilot in the cockpit.
“It is really going to take quite a bit of courage for me,” she admitted.
“I hope we can make an important difference to the care babies receive at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.”
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “We recognise the devastating and enduring impact of thalidomide.
“Our thoughts remain with all those affected, including those who lost their lives and the families who continue to live with that loss.
“This government is committed to meeting the health needs of Thalidomiders, ensuring that they can live with the dignity they deserve, and access the care and support that is right for them, including via the Thalidomide Health Grant which provides vital support to help meet the present and future health and wellbeing needs of Thalidomiders living in England.”
