Sky Dive for BLISS · 17 July 2010

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

All your donations are going towards BLISS for babies who are born too soon, too small and too sick.  This is part of a years fundraising efforts by my company Busy Bees and we are hoping to raise as much as we possibly can for this charity this year. 

 

This is my contribution towards it - yes I'm a crazy woman!!  Why a sky dive - why not!  I'm scared of heights, hate ladders, and the thought of dropping like a lead balloon out of the sky terrifies me.  But .... I've done it once before and LOVED it, and besides what is one rush of terror compared to the helplessness of a parent who wants to do everything they can for their child and can do nothing but sit back and watch.   Respect to BLISS for providing the support and expert knowledge to help so many tiny babies born too early into the world that years ago would have sadly gone before their time.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx
