Our daughter Emma was born 6 weeks premature last August. She spent the first 4 weeks of her life in the Special Care Baby Unit at the Great Western Hospital, Swindon and received fantastic care from the team of Doctors and Nurses there. We are grateful that, despite her unexpected early start in life, she is now a healthy and happy baby girl.

I have decided to take on this challenge to raise money for Bliss to help ensure that babies born premature or sick in the UK have the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss does this by supporting parents to care for their babies, campaigning for better neonatal care and enabling life-changing research.
