Story

Callum Lester, Claire Hoyle, Debs Sparks-Kerss, Emily Moore, Loz Heward, Neil Woods, Shaun Pearson, Steve Croudson, Nick Hegarty, Ben Mortlock, Diane Read and Olly Bradbury are taking on 75 Miles in September for Bliss, the UK's leading charity helping babies born premature or full-term, but sick.

Callum's son Drew was born prematurely at 31 weeks weighing 3lb 8oz, now a healthy 1 year old, we feel its time to give back to this charity to support other families who may need this help in the same situation.

We will post weekly updates of our progress - where we will be completing our 75 miles, everyone will be doing this through various activities of cycling, swimming, running and walking.

1 in every 7 babies born in the UK will need specialist neonatal care, which means thousands of babies and their families seek information and support from Bliss every year.

By sponsoring us, your donation will help Bliss continue their work to ensure that every baby born premature or full-term who needs neonatal care will have the best chance of survival and quality of life.

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.
