Hello! Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. As many of you will know Chloe, (daughter of Claire and niece of Sarah) was born in January 2005, 15 weeks premature and weighing a mere 1lb 5oz. She spent 20 weeks in intensive care at the RUH in Bath and faced many challenges along the way, not least of all a heart operation at 9 weeks old. We finally brought her home on May 24th 2005 weighing a hefty 5lb 8oz and needing 24hour oxygen.

She is now a happy, healthy and lively 1 year old. She is the light of all our lives and we feel incredibly lucky to have her.

Inspired by Chloe's fight for life and by the joy she shows today in living everyday to the fullest we are challenging ourselves to run the hydroactive women's challenge and raise as much as possible for BLISS -  the charity dedicated to ensuring that more babies survive, have the best possible quality of life and that their parents and families get the support they need.

Please take some time to find out about the wonderful things they do and to be amazed by the stories of some other special babies at www.bliss.org.uk. If you'd like to receive a copy of Chloe's story you can email me at nvqclaire@hotmail.com

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: BLISS will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.

Claire Wells, Sarah Margetts and Trudi Hodges
