In January 2022 - at a routine midwife appointment - it was picked up that I had preeclampsia and was sent to hospital where they discovered that Maddox’s umbilical cord hadn’t properly formed and as a result of the preeclampsia, he was in a lot of trouble and an emergency C Section was performed at 31 weeks.

Maddox was cared for at the East Surrey Hospital Neonatal Unit for 5 weeks by a team of earth angels, who were supported by Bliss.

In 2023 my husband Tom absolutely smashed the Marathon in 3 hours 41 mins for Bliss as their top fundraiser so I’m ready to embarrass him and take his top spot (yeah.. right!)

I would be so so so grateful of anything you could do to help - a donation, a share or a pat on the back on the day when I’m crying and heading for St John’s Ambulance….

Thank you!!
