Go the Distance for Bliss 2021 · 1 September 2021 to 30 September 2021 ·
Every 5 minutes, a baby is admitted to neonatal care in the UK.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 100,000 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.
Oliver was born at 26 weeks on 1st November 2020, he had a 5 and a half month stay at the NICU in William Harvey Hospital, Ashford.
We live in Margate so everyday this was a 39.2 mile drive to the hospital and a 39.2 mile drive back home.
Within the month of September I wish to walk 78.4 miles with Oliver joining me on as many of these walks as possible.
Oliver has been home for 4 months and myself and his dad would like to start fundraising for Bliss and also the unit he was on now and well into the future. This is just the beginning.
