Just thought I would post my own experience. I am 14 and was born at 32 weeks, weighing 2lb or about 900g. I am captain of my football team, and run (athletics) for the county (Sussex) and hope to run for GB. Not bad for someone born with solid lungs and on a ventilator for 6 weeks. I am just about to start my GCSE's with predicted grates of A-A* so hopefully it all goes to plan. Will see what happens ? This is just to give hope to all the parents out there.
