Let's go!
Well done to both our drivers Tanya and Simon who raised a huge amount this year again with their annual charity fundraising efforts, with bottles of water sales on their coach trips and raffle events on tours and all money made going to charity Bliss, here is a photo with their certificate from Bliss for a huge £1474 😊 all of that is going to the team based at Raigmore Hospital
Bliss is the leading UK charity dedicated to ensuring babies born premature or sick receive the best neonatal care, survival chances, and quality of life. Founded in 1979, the charity supports families, trains healthcare professionals, campaigns for improved NHS resources, and funds life-changing research.
Tanya’s Best friend Jasmine & Her husband Korin was supported by Bliss at Raigmore Hospital when their Son Lachlann was born 8 weeks Premature weighting 4lb6oz he was in SCBU, where he needed tubed to breath he also had Jaundice and then went on to nasal oxygen and nasal canula for feeding.
£1474 Raised Plus Gift aid taking total to £1842.50 the funds have been restricted to the Scotland team. Having raised money for Bliss this year Tanya had a very high number of passengers sharing their own experience or someone they know who has been supported by Bliss
There is a lot more babies born premature or sick than she realised In the UK, approximately 90,000 babies are admitted to neonatal units each year because they are born premature or sick. This equates to roughly 1 in every 7 babies born in the UK.
Well done Tanya and Simon. A fantastic effort and gesture. For more info on Bliss Scotland visit here https://www.bliss.org.uk/about-us/about-bliss/bliss-scotland
