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 everyone,

As you know im turning 21 on the 17th May, its not always been an easy road, but here I am :)

To celebrate I am trying to raise money for BLISS-the premature baby charity. WHY? well as many of you know I was so keen to get into the world that I was born 3 months early, weighing just 1.5lbs (or less than a bag of sugar as we say in my house) and gave the doctors and my parents lots of probs to deal with, such as having holes pop in my lungs due to them not being developed properly and eventually having to have most of the right one removed. But thanks to the dedication and hard work of the doctors and nurses and the perseverance and not giving up hope of my family im here today :)

Where am I now in the journey that is life? As well as it being my birthday, I will graduate with a degree in Wildlife Conservation this year, having studied at Plymouth Uni for the past 3 years and then hope to go on to do a Masters in Zoo Conservation Biology in September. Then after that, who knows?? the jungles of Borneo?? The skies the limit!!

So here is an opportunity for you to join me in saying thank you to those who helped me get to where I am today and a chance to support families who have been affected by having a prem baby. so whether its contributing some pennies here online, keeping the work of this organisation and the families they help in your prayers, or just making people aware of the work of the organisation, then in the word of Tesco, 'every little helps'. Thank you for joining me in helping little prem babies like me have a chance in life.

People may tell you that you cant do something or that you wont go very far, but if you are determined and have your heart set on something and just try your best then you can do anything: ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE, JUST A CHALLENGE!!!!
