WILL YOU ‘TAKE ON 10 FOR PREM’ THIS WORLD PREMATURITY DAY?
World Prematurity Day is taking place on November 17th, 2024 and this year we are inviting schools, clubs, and community groups to participate in a special challenge…
World Prematurity Day brings global attention to the significant impact of premature birth, which affects 1 in 10 babies worldwide. In celebration and support of those born prematurely and their families, Tiny Lives is launching an exciting new initiative – ‘Take on 10 for Prem!’
‘Take on 10 for Prem’ is an easy, ten-minute online workout designed to get children and their friends active while raising awareness and educating young minds on the challenges and stories of premature birth while raising vital funds for Tiny Lives.
As well as being loads of fun, ‘Take on 10 for Prem’ is also an important way to teach children about important health issues while encouraging physical activity and team work – all key parts of children’s learning and development. Registration now is open for schools and groups here and we’ve even created a downloadable toolkit so you can spread the word to family and friends about why you’re taking part in the challenge.
Rachel Hardwick, Fundraising and Engagement Manager said, “Here at Tiny Lives we want all premature and sick newborn babies and their families living in the North East & North Cumbria to have the best possible chance to thrive, and if your school or group ‘Take on 10 for Prem’ you can help us do this. We would be thrilled to have you and your friends and family on board, making a difference and celebrating the strength and resilience of those born prematurely. As well as raising vital funds for the neonatal community from the North East and North Cumbria.
“Individuals and groups are invited to join in the online workout at a time that suits them in the lead up to World Prematurity Day and every group that takes part will receive a certificate to celebrate their achievement, and every individual will get a sticker to take home to show they took part in the event.
We would be thrilled to have you on board, making a difference and celebrating the strength and resilience of those born prematurely. As well as raising vital funds for the neonatal community from the North East and North Cumbria.”
