Help with the unthinkable


Think about the unthinkable: "Every day in Australia nine children under the age of four die suddenly and unexpectedly from causes including sleeping accidents, drowning, motor vehicle accidents, sudden onset illness, SIDS and stillbirth."

Nine children. Every day.

The unthinkable. The loss, the devastation, the after effects. The people needing help.

Head to the Red Nose Day website to donate, or buy a red nose on or before Friday June 24. It's something simple you can do to help.

I buy some type of red nose item every single year.

I honestly can not imagine what it's like to lose a child. I've tried, and my brain simply cannot process that amount of pain.

A beyond worthy cause.
And one where the funds, the research are changing the stats.
Thank you.

One child a year dying of SIDS is too much, let alone that many. Terrible.

Red Nose Day is so important. The amount of deaths over the years have declined considerably, but there is obviously still so much more work to be done to get that number to ZERO.

Thanks, Megan.
