Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In October 2009 my daughter Scarlett was born 8 weeks premature, she weighed only 2lb 1oz and born with many complications as do many premature babies, she was cared for by the staff at the St George’s Neonatal Unit in London, we were fortunate enough to have Scarlett cared for by the nurses and specialist doctors on the unit.
