HBF Run for a Reason - Team Tiny Sparks WA!

TSWA Management February 11, 2016

2016 will see the third entry of Team Tiny Sparks WA in the HBF Run for a Reason and we invite you to join us!

The amazing participants of the last two teams have raised over $7,000 for Tiny Sparks WA - that's the equivalent of an entire years worth of Neonatal Unit Essentials Care Packages! 

To be held on 22nd May 2016 and with 4km, 12km and 21km options, there is something for everyone and every fitness ability! You can even bring along your tiny spark and join our 4km walkers!

Just by participating and joining Team Tiny Sparks WA you help the WA families we assist, enduring high-risk pregnancies or Neonatal Unit journeys by raising awareness. You can also raise funds! Setting up a fundraising page via Everyday Hero is a great way to set yourself a goal and let your family and friends support you!

All participants who raise $50 or more will receive a Tiny Sparks WA supporter pack with drink bottle and cap.

We look forward to you joining us on our walking, jogging and running journeys with Team Tiny Sparks WA!

Enrolment for Term 1 of Developmental Playgroup is now open.  This year sees a shift from Tuesday to Wednesday but the timing and format remain the same.

We are excited to welcome new families into playgroup.  Places are limited to 12 children per group to ensure everyone has access to the visiting therapist and the children and parents aren’t overwhelmed by a large group.

Groups cater to children from 6 months to walking and walking to age 3.  If your child is standing independently and taking their first steps we recommend the walking group as the activities provided will better meet their developmental needs.

To enrol in the program please visit our website here -  https://bit.ly/30LuSZX

If you have any questions about the program please send us a message.

Everyone's fears after a Neonatal Unit stay are different. 'When we left hospital our biggest concern was keeping our baby well to avoid readmission.' - Amber⠀

🌻🌻Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)🌻🌻⠀
⠀
Annika shares, "Our daughter Ivy, was born with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) on 13 March this year. Her diaphragm had a large hole where her stomach, bowel, liver and spleen had herniated through to her chest, pushing her heart to the side and affecting her lung growth. She was given a 50/50 chance of survival. She was born at KEMH and then transferred to PCH where she had surgery and spent the next 2 months. She is now almost 8 months old and thriving. ⠀
⠀
The NICU journey was hard, but made easier by the incredible staff at both hospitals. We can’t thank them enough. To those families in the NICU, remember the NICU journey is temporary. Connect with other families who understand what you are experiencing and take care of yourselves - get some sleep, leave the ward for a break and reach out for help if you are struggling. You’ve got this."⠀
⠀
Not all Neonatal Unit babies are premature. ⠀

A staggering 58.9% of multiple birth infants were admitted to the Neonatal Unit for more than 1 day in 2015!  We are fortunate to have a great relationship with the team at the Multiple Birth Association for Western Australia.  Like us they are volunteer run, and like us many of them understand the challenges you face with a high-risk pregnancy or baby in the Neonatal Unit.  Did you have twins, triples or more?⠀

💜 Light it up Purple 💜
From 7pm last night the globe began to turn purple to shine a light on the 15 million babies born too small, too soon.  About 3,000 babies in Western Australia are born preterm each year, accounting for 75% of Neonatal Unit admissions.  Globally 1 in 10 babies are born early!

Thank you to The City of Perth, The MRA, City of Mandurah, The Parliament of Western Australia and The Bell Tower for their continued support.

💜World Prematurity Day 💜
We were delighted to welcome 500 people to our Family Fun Day at Bardon Park, Maylands earlier today to celebrate World Prematurity Day.  Thanks to the generosity of the City of Bayswater our guests enjoyed face painting, the cuddly animal farm, inflatable football darts and bouncy castle!  It was wonderful to be joined by a talented musician, local food trucks, the WA Police and Fire Brigade too.  Not to mention our collaborators Woman and Infants Research Foundation, Red Cross Family Support, Australian Breastfeeding Association, Multiple Birth Association of WA and Kidsafe who all hosted informative stalls.

It was so wonderful to see the community come together, share their stories and mark this special day.  Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Our attention now turns to the Perth landmarks lighting it up purple at 7pm tonight 💜💜
