Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My daughter Lucie Louise Lewis was born at Chelsea &amp; Westminster hospital on the 24<sup>th</sup> July 2010 at 26 weeks, 3.5 months ahead of schedule and weighting less than 2 pounds. She was immediately admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the hospital where she spent the next 5 months. During this time Lucie under went three life saving operations, sight saving laser eye surgery and numerous other minor operating procedures.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks to&nbsp;the first class level of care provided by the Neonatal team at the hospital Lucie is now a happy healthy baby and I want to ensure that other children can benefit from the level of care that Lucie received. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chelsea &amp; Westminster hospital has London&rsquo;s leading neonatal surgical team and with your help will have one of the countries first state of the art operating theatres specifically designed for babies and young children.
