Info

Jan Lewis & Mary Purcell Douglas, Isle of Man Jan, who was born with Spina Bifida Occulta but has no long term health issues, is running the Virgin London Marathon. Her daughter Hope Anna was born by emergency C section at 26 weeks, weighing 1030g. She was ventilated straight away and given lots of antibiotics, TPN and two blood transfusions. At four days old she was flown by air ambulance to Liverpool Women's Hospital due to a suspected heart murmur. Her progress improved and after about three weeks the family were transferred back to Alder Hey Children's Hospital as she had Pyloric Stenosis. She is now a happy little two year old. Jan will be running with her mum Mary Purcell. Mary is a double Olympian and previous winner of the Dublin Marathon. Mary is running for Spinal Research. BLISS Frank Bonney, 70 Birmingham Frank came to Birmingham from Ireland in 1962 and in 1984 he moved to Kidderminster shortly after the birth of his daughter Katie. Three years ago he moved back to Northfield in Birmingham where he lives with his new partner Maureen. His daughter still lives in Worcester where Frank worked for some 15 years. Frank is running the Marathon for a second time for Bliss after his daughter Katie gave birth to twin girls in July 2009. Kate went into labour with Isobel first but sadly passed away. Molly amazingly held on for another week inside Kate before being born. She was born at 23+5 weeks gestation. She weighed 1lb 4oz. Thanks to the excellent medical care, the love and devotion of her parents and the support of Bliss, Molly is now a beautiful, bouncy three year old girl who loves to sing and dance. BLISS 10
Kim Hazelton Cornwall Kim is running in memory of her son Jack and to celebrate the strength of her daughter Willow, twins born at just 24 weeks. Jack who was born weighing 675g sadly died after a month but Willow who was born at 710g spent nearly four months in neonatal care and grows stronger every day. She will shortly be celebrating her first birthday. Kim who has brought Willow up as a single mum said: 'The info I received from Bliss and the website has been amazing. I have family support but unless you have been BLISS there you never really understand. That is why I want to give something back to Bliss by running the Virgin London Marathon for them.' Michael Avery Belvedere Michael decided to run the Virgin London Marathon for Bliss because his son Harris was born seven weeks premature, needing to spend 19 days in special care as he couldn't regulate his temperature and had to be fed by a tube. Harris recovered and is now a happy and healthy 15 month year old. BLISS Jon Ley Jon is running after his son Jack Michael Ley suffered complications at birth despite being born at term. Jack had to be resuscitated and suffered persistent pulmonary hyper-tension. Jack had a hole in his diaphragm and some of his abdominal organs, including his stomach. Intestines had pushed through the hole and started to grow in the left of his chest cavity which therefore meant his left lung was unable to grow properly. Doctors stabilised him after two weeks, eventually he was discharged but then Jack went on to have a further two major operations, one was at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. He is now over a year old and recovering well. BLISS 11
