We are walking from Liverpool to Leeds , along the canal, constantly 24 hours through day and night, till we reach the end in Leeds as Bliss is an incredible charity that means alot to many of our staff, from being personally helped, assisted and made sure they were given care and comfort in a very traumatic time.

" We spent 4 months on the neonatal and special care units across 2 hospitals after our babies were born at 23 weeks and Bliss were a key part of our journey. They supported us in so many ways from helping us understand what to expect in the first few days on the unit to finally taking our daughter home, with bereavement support also offered along the way. They are an incredible charity doing amazing work, please give what you can ❤️ Anna, Dave and Lola "

" Bliss have been great to our family, after the birth of our twin daughters (Arlo & Eadie) born at 25 weeks we had a tough journey ahead of us on the neonatal ward for 5 months. During that time Bliss supported us and many more families on the hospital ward, it was the little things that made such a difference to us. Please help support Bliss in any way you can, thanks Jon, Emma, Arlo & Eadie MacDonald "

Here's a little more about the work they do.

1 in every 7 babies born in the UK will need specialist care.

Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. They rely on donations to fund their work, and without our help they won't be able to reach the 90,000 babies needing neonatal care each year.

Your donation to our page will help Bliss to drive improvements in neonatal care, to ensure that the needs of babies are at the heart of policy and planning for the future, and to provide information and support to all families with a baby born premature or sick.
