As some of you know, Hugo and I have had 3 daughters, Isabella, Matilda and Clementine. Isabella and Matilda were both 6 weeks premature and without medical intervention, Clementine would also have been born at 34 weeks. On 28th April 2011, at 28 hours old, Matilda died unexpectedly of an undiagnosed heart and lung problem. Although her death was unavoidable and not connected to her prematurity, we have a lot of experience of the shock and fear felt by parents of babies who are born too early and as a consequence we would like to raise money in her memory for Bliss. One in every 9 babies in the UK is born either premature or sick. That’s over 80,000 babies every year with one being admitted to special care every six minutes. The vital care that babies receive after birth can have a profound impact on the rest of their lives. For families struggling to cope, this will be one of the most difficult, emotional and stressful times of their lives. Bliss is the UK charity working to provide the best possible care and support for all premature and sick babies and their families – what a worthy cause. Thank you very much for your support XXX
