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

Ever since our eldest boy Huw was born over seven weeks early, I've been wanting to do something for Bliss.

Whilst he was in special care in the hands of the amazing team at West Middlesex Hospital, Bliss was an additional source of reassuring information and advice for us, including the transition period following the amazing day when Huw came home to live with us.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have an amazing and healthy 5 & 1/2 year old who continues to blow our minds with the additional resilience that premature babies seem to have as they grow up.

We're super proud of everything he does but particularly apt that he learned to ride a bike unassisted recently, which is an amazing achievement given his mild Cerebral Palsy!

Here's to the ones that aren't quite as lucky as we have been and long may Bliss continue to exist and aid research into premature baby care & prevention.
