Tomorrow, Friday the 30th of June, is Red Nose Day in Australia.
I chatted to Angela Doyle, CEO of sids and kids Western Australia, during my radio programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM on Monday morning about the advances that have been made in research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Stillbirth and Neonatal Deaths. There is some fairly new research underway that will hopefully help reduce the rate of stillbirths in a similar way to which they’ve been able to reduce SIDS deaths.
Having been touched by a SIDS death in my extended family it’s a cause very close to my heart.
Some of the products they’re selling to raise money for research and their support services include badges, bears, pins, pens, clocks and of course red noses. Thankfully the red noses have come a long way since the early, scratchy, hard plastic models. They’re now soft foam noses.
I’m sure that Paula will be adding to her collection of Red Nose Bears. She mentioned last year that she always supports Red Nose Day and is collecting the cute, little, fuzzy fellas.
If you see any Red Nose Day products at the checkout tomorrow, please consider purchasing something to help others.
