1 in every 7 babies born in the UK will need specialist care.Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. They rely on donations to fund their work, and without our help they won't be able to reach the 90,000 babies needing neonatal care each year.Your donation to my page will help Bliss to drive improvements in neonatal care, to ensure that the needs of babies are at the heart of policy and planning for the future, and to provide information and support to all families with a baby born premature or sick.

Our wee baby Cora was born in December 3 weeks early and had a brief stay in the neonatal ward of Aberdeen maternity ward where she was wonderfully looked after. We were fortunate to only spend a few days there but saw first hand the amazing support provided in these wards.

I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon to raise funds for Bliss so they can continue to support these amazing teams!
