FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND SUPPORT

SIDS and Kids Northern Territory are holding their 2nd “Walk 2 Remember”

This walk is for anyone who has been affected by the death of a baby, infant or child regardless of age or cause of death.  Family and friends are encouraged to attend this special day in memory of these children.

This wonderful event has come about due to 12 year old Taylah Peters who in January 2010 decided she wanted something more to honour her baby brother Kaden who had died almost 3 years before, together with honouring other children’s lives which had been lost as well as promoting SIDS and Kids NT to ensure that much needed funds were received for continuation of the FREE support and counselling service.

She said that after the walk everyone could release balloons to their loved ones and some nice poetry could be read.  After this the kids could play on the playground and everyone could have fun!!
