Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been inspired to run the London Marathon again for the charity BLISS, to raise money for further research into the treatment and the purchase of life saving equipment that saved my daughter's life.

Lottie was extremely poorly when she was born and was without oxygen for 7 minutes -  then she underwent cooling treatment at the Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London - this saved her life.

Her body was cooled for 72 hours to allow blood flow to be concentrated on the major organs, in particular the brain.  She was then 'warmed up' for a further 48 hours. 

So far she is meeting her milestones and is well on course to becoming a handful!!

For Lottie, my wife, her big brother Sam and so that others can benefit from the cooling treatment too, please donate as much as you can.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

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.
