The cricketing legend and his mum Carole have spoken of the incredible care they received when Stuart was born prematurely in a major campaign for Nottingham Hospitals Charity
Nottinghamshire and England cricketing legend Stuart Broad , who was born almost nine weeks prematurely 38 years ago today, is set to become an official ambassador for Nottingham Hospitals Charity's Big Appeal, which aims to raise £1.5 million over the next three years for Nottingham Children's Hospital. Stuart says he owes his life to the Neonatal Unit at the hospital.
Stuart was saved by a doctor called John, after whom he was given the middle name hence Stuart Christopher John Broad. Stuart said: “My mum said the hardest thing she ever had to do was drive away from the hospital, without her newborn. As a parent myself now, I just couldn’t imagine driving away from the hospital without my daughter, Annabella, with us.
“Walking through the door and seeing the new unit, I just felt that if my child needed care, this is where I’d want to be. The Big Appeal should really be called the Huge Appeal – because that’s the difference it will make to everybody who comes through that door." Nigel Gregory, chief executive of Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Stuart and Carole as ambassadors for the Big Appeal, especially as it is a cause so close to both their hearts. After starting his life as a premature baby, Stuart has gone on to become a local and national sporting hero – it just goes to show what the tiny babies being cared for in our Neonatal Unit can go on to achieve.
