FREE way to give £100k to charity - Vote for BLISS

E.m.m.a_2

The Royal Bank of Scotland is giving :shocked: £1 million :shocked: to charity. Daily Mail readers have nominated their favourite children’s charities and 90 have been chosen to receive £10k. Of these, 10 charities have now been specially selected by the judges as potential winners of the £100k top prize… and now people can vote for the charity that they think is the most deserving.

Please consider voting for BLISS the premature baby charity (charity no.1002973). They are most dear to my heart as our son was born very ill and spent time in intensive care. To register your vote please email bliss@dmail.entries.co.uk (it’s FREE) or there’s a 0905 premium rate number to call (but I don’t suggest that for MSEs!).

I know that Christmas is an incredibly busy time, but please help to make a real difference to the care and lives of babies born too soon, too small or too sick to cope on their own. Please pass this message on to others. Thank you xx :T

FYI The full article in the Daily Mail is available from http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/prmts/prmts.html?in_article_id=423957&in_page_id=1777 and it lists all 10 charities in the running for the £100k.

BLISS is my chosen charity too.

My first child was born at 23 weeks, and sadly died 14 hours later. My second child was born at 31 weeks and spent almost 2 months in SCBU's before being allowed to come home.

My vote has been e-mailed.

:T Thank you to all MSEs who took the time to vote:T Just thought I would let you know that unfortunately BLISS did not win but as it was shortlisted, it will get £10k!

The winning charity was infact Unique who support anyone affected by a rare chromosome disorder. You may think that because these disorders are rare that it means very few children are affected by them. Well that's where you're wrong! Individually each different disorder is rare (or even truly unique) but when added together at least 1 in every 200 newborn babies has a rare chromosome disorder. Many of these babies and children will have a multitude of symptoms – physical disability, learning disabilities, being slow to reach their developmental milestones and often with a complex mixture of different medical problems. Others babies will have problems having their own babies when they grow up – the heartache of infertility, multiple miscarriages or the birth of a sick and disabled baby.

I hope that you will agree with me that Unique truely most deserve the £100k top prize. If you wish to read the full article in the Daily Mail, just click here.
