Story
I'm taking on cycling 400km in May for Bliss, the UK's leading charity helping babies born premature or full-term, but sick.
This charity is one of the closest to my heart and everyone that knows our story will understand why. My strong, courageous and outright incredible little boys spent 86 days in Neonatal care after an extremely tough pregnancy. We went through a TTTS diagnosis that required emergency laser surgery at 23 weeks to save our boys and then we had PPROM at 28+4 which resulted in them being born at 29 weeks. Without the support, information and guidance from charities like Bliss, I would have struggled so much more.
Around 5,000 babies are cared for in neonatal units each year in Scotland. Bliss Scotland was established in 2009 to provide support to those babies and their families right across Scotland.
1 in every 7 babies born in the UK will need specialist neonatal care, which means thousands of babies and their families seek information and support from Bliss every year.
By sponsoring me, your donation will help Bliss continue their work to ensure that every baby born premature or full-term who needs neonatal care will have the best chance of survival and quality of life.
