On Sunday 22 May and Wednesday 25 May 2005, the BBC’s Lifeline Appeal series will
focus on Action Medical Research’s Touching Tiny Lives campaign which aims to raise
£3 million to pay for research into premature birth, pregnancy complications and
better treatments for vulnerable babies.
Actress Fay Ripley will be fronting the
appeal.

Having been chosen by the BBC to feature in the appeal, the charity is drafting 
in volunteers to staff the telephones at the BBC’s call handling centre in Glasgow.

Action Medical Research is hoping that the Lifeline Appeal will generate around 
£10,000 for the Touching Tiny Lives campaign.
