Story

My two sons were born prematurely at 32 weeks and 4 days in November 2018. Tragically, one of them did not survive, but the other, who spent 5 weeks in the NICU, is now a healthy and active child. During this challenging time, we received incredible support from Bliss.

It's heartbreaking to know that 1 in every 7 babies in the UK needs neonatal care due to prematurity or illness. Bliss is dedicated to improving outcomes and quality of life for these babies, but they need our help to continue their vital work. That's why I've committed to running the London Marathon in 2025 to raise funds for Bliss.

Your donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in supporting 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.
