Following a long period of illness my sister Joanne Baum passed away peacefully at North Tees Hospital on February 23rd 2025, and since that sad day our family has been truly touched by the amount of love that's come our way from friends and family all round the world.

It's important to us that some good comes from this loss and sadness so we've set up this donation page and we would like to invite you to donate however much you can to Bliss, who are a beautiful charity dedicated to helping and supporting families of babies who are sick or born prematurely.

Jo's son Lewis was himself born at 28 weeks and spent the first few months of his life in an incubator, so we know that Jo would be very touched by what we've done in her honour and we thank you for any kind donation you can make.

To make a donation scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the button marked 'Make a donation' , and in the meantime here's more information about who Bliss is and the important work they do:

Thanks everyone,

Nigel Loughtman, Jo's brother.
