Stepping up the pace to find a cause and a cure, Brewed Awakenings has joined forces with the North Grenville Council of the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (CFSID) for the first ever combined events. The 7th Annual Keegan’s Walk and 1st Annual Brewed Awakening Breath of Hope Run will take place on September 30th, 2007 at St. Michael Catholic High School / Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville, Ontario.
Give Every Child the Breath of Hope and join forces with us to raise the much needed funds for ongoing research and education. Did you know that it costs approximately $50 to educate one person in reducing the risk of SIDS through ‘safe sleep’ education? Help us; help the CFSID in furthering research and education in our efforts to save babies lives in our communities and across Canada.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death in infants from 1 month to 1 year of age and no one knows why. In Canada 3 babies die each week to this syndrome and has affected infants and families within our own community. Research has identified ways in which we all can help in reducing the risk of SIDS and how to provide infants with the safest environment to thrive in, however, further research, education and awareness needs to continue in order to eradicate this problem.
