We help premature and sick babies in the UK to give every baby the best possible future

Story

On 20th July 2014, my son Noah decided to make a suprise entrance into the world 2 months before his due date, feet first. 

He spent 5 days in intensive care, and one day in special care, weighing 2160 grams. His neonatal summary:

"he cried initially, irregular, shallow breathing - needed inflation breath followed by ventilation breath for one minute. Colour improved but soon started grunting. Transferred to NNU in resuscitaire".

On Saturday 3rd November I will be boxing in a match to raise money for this fantastic charity. If you would like to support you can come along on the night, or donate to this page. More details about the event will be coming soon.

I’ve chosen to fundraise for Bliss because I want to make a real difference to the 95,000 babies born premature or sick every year. Every donation that’s made to this page brings Bliss closer to ensuring that every baby born premature or sick in the UK has the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss does that by supporting parents to care for their babies, campaigning for better neonatal care and enabling life-changing research.

Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. We rely on donations to fund our work but with one baby admitted to neonatal care every five minutes we don’t have the resources to reach every baby who needs us. Your donation can help Bliss ensure every baby gets the best care.
