This Sunday, November 17th is WORLD PREMATURITY DAY. Learn more about helping the March of Dimes in their fight against premature births by visiting facebook.com/worldprematurityday to learn more and show your support.
World Prematurity Day is observed on November 17, 2013. World Prematurity Day is an observance held on the 17th of November. Approximately 15 million babies are born prematurely each year accounting for more than one in 10 of all babies born worldwide. It is estimated that the world's 39 highest-income countries could cut around 58 000 premature births annually by implementing interventions to prevent preterm births, amounting to roughly US$3.0 billion in economic cost savings. World Prematurity Day aims to raise awareness for prematurity and the concerns of preterm babies and their families worldwide because infants born preterm represent the largest child patient group. World Prematurity day was started in 2011 by the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (EFCNI), March of Dimes, Africa-based Little Big Souls International Foundation, and the National Premmie Foundation of Australia and has since been taken place in more than 50 countries.
I will be spending this weekend working on my book proposal...only a few more sections to go. This weekend is dedicated to "analysis of the competition". There are 39 books available on amazon.com and I need to look up each one and write a paragraph about the book's subject's matter and how my book is different. So, I guess I'll be spending much of my weekend on amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble... at least they have a lot of coffee.
Writing the book is the easy part. Putting together the book proposal is much more difficult! Keep your fingers crossed I get through the 39 books and don't find any more. hahaha!
Hopefully sometime next week, I'll have the pictures ready to post from the March of Dimes event.
