Story

Dear Friends and Family,

My darling niece Emily Olivia Violet Crystal was born on 26 October at 27 weeks.

Emily weighed 680g and remained in neonatal care for 90 days until she was able to come home with Jess and Jamie on 23 January.

An enormous thank you to everyone in the teams at the Rosie Hospital and the Broomfield Hospital for looking after Emily during her first months.

I held Emily for the first time the day before my birthday - the best present I could have imagined!

I'm taking on 62 Miles in May for Bliss, the UK's leading charity helping babies born premature or full-term, but sick.

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.

Bliss supported Jess and Jamie through Emily’s journey in NICU.

By sponsoring me, 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.

As most of you know, Tech isn’t my strong point so I’ll do my best to update you on the progress - if that fails you’ll have to take my word I’ll be doing it!!

Thank you for your support

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.
