I'm taking on 70 Miles in June for Bliss, the UK's leading charity helping babies born premature or full-term, but sick.

1 in every 7 babies born in the UK will need specialist neonatal care, which means thousands of babies and their families seek information and support from Bliss every year.

By sponsoring me, your donation will help Bliss continue their work to ensure that every baby born premature or full-term who needs neonatal care will have the best chance of survival and quality of life.

My twins were born at 31 weeks and 3 days, and instead of taking them straight home, I spent the next six weeks in neonatal intensive care.

Neo became my whole world. I learned to celebrate the smallest milestones — weight gained, feeds finished, — while trying to balance fear and hope every single day. It was overwhelming at times, but it also showed me strength I never knew I had.

Now my twins are one year old and thriving — healthy, happy and full of life. Looking at them today, it’s hard to believe how tiny they once were.

Throughout our neonatal journey, Bliss helped families like mine feel less alone. Somewhere between the worry, the waiting and the tiny victories, I found comfort, resilience and hope — and for that, I’ll always be grateful.
