Things I Know About Red Nose Day and SIDS and Kids

Happy Friday fellow Knowers!!

As always I know plenty and I am sure you do to so make sure you head on over to the ever so lovely The Miss Cinders and join on in the fun that is Things I Know.

The first thing I know this week is that it is the last Friday in June. Which means only one thing.


SIDS & KIDS RED NOSE DAY


Red Nose Day started way back in 1988. Organisers were so thrilled with the awareness and money raised that they decided to make it a national annual event. Since then it has grown from strength to strength raising vital funds to support families in their time of heartbreaking loss.

The good news is if you are not into being silly for the day and donning a red nose I know a few ways that you can be a part of this great cause.

You could donate to someone like Kristie, who sadly knows only to well what a wonderful service SIDS and Kids offers, and is returning the help she received in her time of need and fundraising for this great cause.

You could purchase some of these little beauties
They are available online here. You can get 9 packs of 100 wipes for just under $36 at the moment. Australian made, scented or unscented and the only environmentally sustainable wipes on the Australian market these wipes tick all the boxes and they help raise funds for a vital part of our community.

If you don't want to order online you can also call 1300 4 WIPES 

I know that if you have no need for wipes there are heaps of other cool products available at the SIDS and Kids online store. Include cards, bags, drink bottles as well as heaps of baby products.

I know that if you did buy a red nose you should totally go here and enter to win a super cool prize. And even if you didn't buy a red nose you should still go there and check out all the great photos that have been shared there.

I know that I am sending out lots of fairy wishes and butterfly kisses to all those families affected by the sudden loss of an infant and so thankful that there are wonderful organisations such as SIDS and Kids to support them in their time of need.

    I cant imagine anything worse to have happened in your life, I for one was completely paranoid about SIDS when my twins where newborns. What a cruel thing to have a little one snatched from you just as you start to get to know each other. It brings a lump to my throat just thinking about it. I bought a pin today from the poker face lady wearing a red nose in our general store today, she was putting in a big effort! ;) Thanks for sharing some info about it all. xx

      I don't know how people live through it either. Such a difficult time I am sure, I don't know how people got through it before organisations such as SIDS and Kids.

    Thanks for the tips Rhianna. I admit, I didn't know it was Red Nose Day! We used to always be involved as kids. x

      Now worries Zanni, I guess I kind of felt the same about it feeling like it has fallen of the radar a bit.

    What a great post Rhi :)

    I know a few people who have had amazing support by SIDS and Kids. They're an organisation that is essential.

    I think it's worth publicising, even if everyone knows about it - no such thing as too much publicity - Em xx
