A NEONATAL nurse who has cared for nearly 20,000 poorly babies is urging Sun readers to dig deep for our Christmas appeal to help premature tots.
Lisa Leppard, 52, who has worked at Southampton Children’s Hospital for 28 years, said: “These babies need your help. We can’t do it alone. We rely on charity support.”
The Sun’s appeal is raising money for Bliss, the leading charity for premature and sick newborns.
Lisa continued: “I remember a little boy who was born at 23 weeks.
“He very nearly didn’t make it but he has just gone to school. He’s the epitome of what we do here. To see him now, happy and thriving, is why we do this job.

“Babies like him would simply not survive if it were not for the work of Bliss. It’s a fabulous charity.”
Lisa started her career in adult nursing before moving to the neo- natal unit when she was 24.
She said: “There are lots of families that I remember, the babies you look after always stay with you.
“One baby I cared for back in 1990 now works as a healthcare assistant on the unit.
“Please give as much or as little as you can.
“It might bring a little Christmas cheer, and it might save lives.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
