I’ve chosen to fundraise for Bliss because I have an absolute champion of a nephew, and I get the chance to hang with this cheeky, energetic little guy because of the amazing work done by hospital staff when he was born 12 weeks premature. Hopefully my small contribution can aid others getting the best possible chance for a similar outcome.

95,000 babies are born premature or sick every year. Every donation that’s made to this page brings Bliss closer to ensuring that every baby born premature or sick in the UK has the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss does that by supporting parents to care for their babies, campaigning for better neonatal care and enabling life-changing research.

I've never been a runner, but I'm up for the challenge, and a cause as good as this spurring me on will hopefully see me home.
