Bliss is a wonderful charity to help babies born premature or sick and we, Luis, Michael and Stefano, want to help them as much as we can to improve their services and decided to run for them at the upcoming Royal Parks Half Marathon. All of us are part of the GIFT-Surg project which aims to transform fetal health care and, hence, we especially know about their necessity and importance in order to make a change. Let's make a change together and help us to provide babies a better future! We would be most grateful to those people who would contribute to our campaign!

Your generous donations will significantly support the work of the numerous men and women working for Bliss, which are daily committed to provide the best care for babies born prematurely or sick, and their families. We truly believe your contribution will make the difference and we would really appreciate your generosity. As supporters of Bliss, we warmly invite you to attend the upcoming initiatives we are organizing! Save the dates for upcoming competitions, movie-nights, and other charity events supported by UCL and GIFT-Surg! We are looking forward to having you with us, and we can't wait to see you showing your support live at the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 9th!

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We thank you again for your understanding and for your generosity. Thank you for making the difference.

With warm regards,
Luis, Michael and Stefano
