1 in every 7 babies born in the UK will need specialist care.

In September I will be running 75 miles to raise money for Bliss. As many of you are aware, Oliver was born at 23 weeks + 5 days, weighing a tiny 1lb 2oz. Oliver received care from 3 different neonatal units and spent almost 6 months in hospital. Bliss is a charity close to our hearts and I want to support the work they do for premature babies.

Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. They rely on donations to fund their work, and without our help they won't be able to reach the 90,000 babies needing neonatal care each year.

Your donation to my page will help Bliss to drive improvements in neonatal care, to ensure that the needs of babies are at the heart of policy and planning for the future, and to provide information and support to all families with a baby born premature or sick.
