25 years ago I was born in the Amsterdam Medical Center, 10 weeks too early. Directly after my birth it turned out I suffered from NEC, a very common bowel disease for premature children. I needed several operations and a stoma, but after 3 months on the Neonatology facility I was finally allowed to go home, a huge relief for my parents. The Emma Children’s hospital and her doctors are the reason I’m still alive. Unfortunately, not every child is this fortuned and that’s why I want to do something in return.
