Our beautiful baby girl Maddison was born on 6th June 2022 at 26 weeks and 4 days weighing a tiny 1lb 14ozs. Before her birth we were moved to a hospital an hour away from home to ensure that she received the vital care she needed when being born at such an early gestation. Maddison stayed at that NICU for 5 and a half weeks, before being moved to the NICU at our local hospital for a further 4 and a half weeks.

The travelling took up precious time that we would have wanted to be sat by Maddison’s side and caring for her.

Parents cant choose the time it takes to travel to visit their baby at hospital, so I have chosen to Take 60 minutes of my time to help support more families to be by their babies side.

More than 1 in 3 parents told Bliss that they travel over 1 hour to and from the hospital to see their baby, with more than half of these parents having to travel by public transport.

Help me to help Bliss support families with babies born premature or sick.
