Story

<p class="MsoNormal"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Iris wil be walking around Painshill Park - with the aid of her mummy -on Wednesday 25th May for a sponsored PramPush in aid of </em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">St Peters Hospital Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) </em></strong><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in Chertsey </em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The unit has looked after over 1000 babies in the last year and helped Iris when she was born on 16th November 2010 - six weeks early and weighing only 3lb 11oz! The amazing doctors, nurses and midwifes helped Iris get bigger and start feeding whilst providing support and guidance for her mummy and daddy.&nbsp;Iris came home four weeks later in time for Christmas but the&nbsp;assistance didn't stop and there is never a day goes past that we don't remember and feel grateful for all the help we recieved. </em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This &lsquo;Level 3&rsquo; Unit has the facilities to care for the sickest of new borns and premature babies. All the admissions are emergencies! The more up-to-date life saving equipment the unit has to hand, the better they can cope with the constantly fluctuating demand. For example, an incubator costs &pound;12,000, standard monitoring equipment &pound;15,000 and a ventilator &pound;25,000. All money raised by this event will go directly towards the purchase of this and other life-saving equipment and facilities.&nbsp;</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
