Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Every month goes past and looking at my children I'm haunted by the fact that 60,000 sets of parents each year in the U.K. deal with a premature birth. Early birth is becoming more common, often with the reason unknown and it is the biggest killer of our babies globally.

My life outlook has been changed by my 27 week pregnancy, I was lucky enough to have Vivi, born 13 weeks early, a little over 2lbs - who is now a fit and healthy 1 year old. But we saw the tears and utter devastation of other parents who dealt with switching off life support or having a baby with a 50% or less chance of survival. Having a baby early or sick pushes you to the brink, every day is a battle and the right support is vital for baby, mum, dad and siblings.

Those of you that know me know that I can't run for toffee, I'd be rubbish at giving up chocolate or alcohol. So in honour of Bliss, who help many families in a rather awful position - this September I will be chucking myself out of a plane and skydiving....did I also mention I don't like heights?!!

So please, please dig deep!  Xx
