Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

Many of you will know that our daughter, Skye, was born in April 2009 at 27 weeks.  She received wonderful care at the Royal Berkshire hospital in Reading, Gloucestershire Royal hospital in Gloucester and Cheltenham General hospital in Cheltenham.  It was a very traumatic time but we came through it stronger, and having made some wonderful new friends.

Skye is now a year old.  She is getting into everything, sitting, rolling and not far off crawling.  In October she, I and some of those friends will be walking round the 5k Big Fun Run at Cheltenham Racecourse (well, ok, she may well be being pushed, but you get the idea).  It may not seem far to many people, but those of you who know my fitness levels will appreciate that, for me, it's plenty!  We are raising money for Bliss - the charity for babies born too soon, too small, too sick - in other words, our special care babies.  All babies are special.  Ours are also little miracles!  Please dig deep to support this wonderful charity!

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.
