LAP is seeking nominations
from around Australia of “local premmie heroes” – the ordinary yet
extraordinary people who give up their time to support the families of
premature babies both during their hospital stay and afterwards, doing
everything from sewing tiny clothing for very low birth weight babies to
setting up local playgroups for prematurely born children to organising
fundraising for research into the causes of premature birth.
“As a community of parents,
we understand the premmie journey and how hard the road can be. We
want to recognise and pay tribute to those people who go out of their way
to make things easier for other families travelling that road.” said Julia
Toivonen, founder of the L’il Aussie Prems website and mother of two
premature babies. Nominations of local premmie
heroes can be made via the L’il Aussie Prems website. Nominees do not need
to have any premature children of their own. Nominations will close
on 30 April 2009 and details of the winners will be announced in
May.
