First Steps for SIDS is a nationwide campaign to raise awareness & much needed funding for critical SIDS research. It is being sponsored by the Aaron Matthew SIDS Research Guild of Seattle Children’s Hospital and the American SIDS Institute. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among children one month to one year old across all developed nations. This campaign recognizes an amazing milestone in a child’s development -- their "first steps" -- while shining a light on a serious issue that needs more attention and funding. Learn more about SIDS here.
The campaign runs through January 1st 2019.
