Story

For those of you that don't know our daughter, Matilda, arrived early at 30weeks. We are not sure why, all we know is that she was breech with cord prolapse and Jess was fully dilated. If we hadn't got to the RUH, Bath when we did and if they didn't have such a good department things could have been completely different. 

Bliss make a real difference to the 95,000 babies born premature or sick every year. Every donation that’s made to this page brings Bliss closer to ensuring that every baby born premature or sick in the UK has the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss does that by supporting parents to care for their babies, campaigning for better neonatal care and enabling life-changing research.

Bliss personally helped us with face to face visits as well as providing extremely useful booklets. We are lucky to have Matilda so healthy and happy, I want to help other parents have this amazing opportunity. So to that affect I am going to abuse my body and drag it 26miles around London, and likely vomit in the process! Please help us to help others. 

Thank you.

Love 

Edd, Jess and Matilda

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.
