Story

60,000 babies (1 in 7) are born prematurely in the UK each year and most premature births are spontaneous, with no clear cause. Bliss exists to improve outcomes and quality of life for these babies and I'm trying to raise £3,000 to support them by running the London Marathon in 2024.

No money will ever be enough but anything you can donate to this wonderful charity will be so gratefully received. It will go to support prematurely born babies and give their families the only thing they want, a chance to take their baby home. 

Some examples of what your money can do...

£6 could fund one hour of research that could help keep neonatal babies free from pain.

£16 could provide a family with essential information and email support to help them manage their finances while their baby is in hospital.

£31 helps us to support one of the 90,000 babies who need neonatal care each year.

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.
