Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. We rely on donations to fund our work but with one baby admitted to neonatal care every five minutes we don’t have the resources to reach every baby who needs us. Your donation can help Bliss ensure every baby gets the best care.

Story

Hi

Thanks for getting this far.

Some of you may know that back in 1999 my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy 12 weeks premature weighing 1 lb 1oz. He stayed in hospital for a good 4 months before he came home. To say things were like a rollercoaster is to put it mildly. However, we are lucky and have the joys of a healthy 10 year old just being a normal 10 year old boy. I remember Bliss being around for my family when and if we needed and I know they do great work for other families with premature children. It is a great charity to give and I hold the purpose very close to my heart. It is time now for me to give back what I can.

So, what am I doing to raise money?

I have been running regularly for a year now with my good friend Darron and have entered some races and rasied some money while we are at it :)

We are coming upto the Great South Run in October 2010 and are hoping to raise some money for Bliss.

A BIG thank you to all who have sponsored me so far. It really does drive us on.

I ask you to please sponsor me and Darron with whatever you can afford.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
