Dear All,

The RBS/Daily Mail are giving away £1000,000 to Childrens Charities. 91 have been chosed to receive £10,000 each
and 10 charities have been shortlisted, including BLISS the premature baby Charity (www.bliss.org.uk), for the top prize of £100,000.

BLISS not only runs a parent support network but just as importantly helps fund the research and development of the equipment in the Neo-Natal
Intensive Care units, of which Charlotte spent 9 weeks in an incubator at St Mary's NICU in Portsmouth,Hampshire and 5 weeks at Frimley Park, Surrey.
Having been given an original 1% chance of survival the care Charlotte had and the equipment the NICU team had at their disposal undoubtedly saved her life.

Pages 70-71 of today's Daily Mail features the 10 shortlisted Charities,with a brief explanation of each and how they would use the money and BLISS are using Charlotte as their case study for the Award. Samantha did a very short telephone interview for the Daily Mail yesterday which is featured under the BLISS section on page 70.

Although they are all very good Charities it would be great if you would all consider voting for Bliss .

You can do this by sending an email to bliss@dmail.entries.co.uk with RBS Childrens Charities Awards in the subject.
voting lines close on 16 December and the winner will be featured in the Daily Mail on Boxing day.
