This year for my 32nd birthday I have decided to give back to the wonderful charity Bliss which helped my wife and I when our son, Leo, arrived early at 25 weeks. Through their funding of parent accommodation to the plethora of helpful information they provided it all helped smooth our journey in the most difficult time of our lives. Then later with the birth of our daughter, Freya, at 32 weeks we benefited again from Bliss funded parent accomodation which again helped take one more worry off our plate.

So now myself and the rest of the Bothy Boys (Jim, Jack, Adam) will be completing a 7 day 77km trek through Kielder stopping at 6 bothies along the way to raise money for this awesome cause. To my knowledge this 7 day trek has not been attempted by anyone else so we will be etching our names into the history books so please give what you can to help make a better life for all premature baby

For anyone wondering about what a "bothy" actually is then please visit the website below and consider donating to their association for the upkeep of this fantastic resource
