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.


I wanted to set myself a challenge this year and as you all know I am no proper runner, so a few half marathons seemed suitable! I would like to suggest that I will be doing them in succession but I am really not that good! One of the main reasons that I wanted to set myself something significant to do is to be able to fundraise for a charity that is close to heart.


Mike and I are immensely proud and privileged to have Isaac in our lives but there are many families where being able to bring their baby into the world on time and healthy is taken away from them, and in many cases only results in bereavement.  

One in every 9 babies in the UK is born either premature or sick. That’s over 80,000 babies every year with one being admitted to special care every six minutes.

The vital care that babies receive after birth can have a profound impact on the rest of their lives. For families struggling to cope, this will be one of the most difficult, emotional and stressful times of their lives.

Bliss is the UK charity working to provide the best possible care and support for all premature and sick babies and their families.


Please support this rather mad challenge that I have set myself if you can so that we can in turn support is extremely valuable charity. Thank you x
