Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have taken on the challenge of running the London Marathon to raise funds for a cause which is especially close to both Rachael and my hearts...

Rachael was only 24 weeks into her pregnancy when we welcomed James Paul Close into the world on March 30th 2016 weighing just 1lb 9oz.

The level of support we have received from all involved has been nothing short of incredible, they have not only nursed and cared for our little boy but have cared for Rachael and I through this very difficult journey.

I feel compelled to do my part in raising as much as i can to help support families who find themselves in similar situations in the future. So please dig deep in supporting a truly wonderful cause..

Thank you....

Rachael, James, and John x

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.
