Thanks to The Neonatal Trust a record number of iconic NZ landmarks and iconic buildings will be lit up purple alongside international landmarks, to join in a campaign for World Prematurity Day on 17 November.
Wellington Mayor, Andy Foster, is pleased that the Wellington City Council is able to get behind the campaign by lighting up the Carter fountain in Oriental Bay, along with the iconic Bucket Fountain in Cuba Mall. “It’s great to be able to support the Neonatal Trust in this way and help raise awareness of the issues premature babies and their families face.
About 10 percent of New Zealand babies are born prematurely. It’s a stressful time and families need all the help they can get. I have personal experience as my son was born prematurely and the Neonatal Trust are fantastic caring people who do a wonderful job. I urge people to contribute to the Trust, which supports those families when they need it.”
