We are walking as a family to support a charity very close to our hearts. On the 12th December 1992 I was born 9 weeks early, my lungs collapsed and was severely ill. After multiple attempts to save my life, my mum and dad were told by doctors there was no hope and to say their goodbyes to their daughter. Thanks to the persistence of one doctor I survived and spent a number of weeks in neonatal recovering until I was strong enough to go home and meet my sibling and family. 27 years later I am happy and healthy and proud to be a preemie survival story. We want to raise as much as we can for Bliss who help families and babies through a very tough times. Any donations would be greatly appreciated to support bliss helping neonatal units for babies and families especially during this unprecedented time during covid. 💜

A bit about what bliss do and why donations are important -

“During the COVID-19 crisis, babies have continued to need neonatal care. Only now, many parents have faced further separation due to restrictions to how they can stay to care for their babies, and other family members not being able to visit in hospital or their home.Bliss has worked to adapt their services throughout the pandemic, with their volunteers training to offer support to parents by video call, keeping up to date with research, campaigning for parents to be able to care for their babies in the units and providing information leaflets free of charge to all UK neonatal units.The cost of providing this has been a challenge for Bliss with so many fundraising events not being able to go ahead this year.We need Bliss to continue to be there for babies.

Please give generously if you can and sponsor myself and my family for our Little Lights walk. 💜
