Premmie Hero Award 1st Runner Up

Karen Cuthbert is our 1st runner up Local Premmie Hero Award Winner.

Karen is a mum to six young children. Karen amazingly finds time to sew exquisite little gowns and blankets for the benefit of some of Australia’s most premature babies.

Karen’s sewing machine produces a never-ending stream of beautiful garments in the most cheerful fabrics she can find, designed to meet the needs of babies in intensive care and warm the hearts of those who care for them. Since Karen started sewing her little garments she has donated over 220 gowns across Australia.

Karen sends her gifts of love to families across Australia, most of whom she will never have the opportunity to meet. Her thoughtfulness and generosity have lead to her to winning an award as our 1st runner up premmie hero. Karen knows what it is like to have a child in hospital, and is more than happy to send families a gift and bring a smile to the faces of those with sick and premature babies around the country

Congratulations Karen and thank you!

Karen has won a $200 RedBalloon gift certificate, will receive a 12 month subscription to Pratical Parenting Magazine, and she will receive a uniquely designed medal & framed certificate.

The 2010 Premmie Hero Award nominations open Monday 1st February. If someone you know is your “premmie hero” be sure to nominate them.
