Description:
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the number one cause of death for infants between one week and one year of age.  One of the frustrating obstacles for the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, the SIDS Foundation, is the obscurity surrounding the magnitude of the problem.  Crib Death, as it is also called, claims up to one out of 1,000 babies during their sleep.  The cause, although relatively unclear, may stem from a malfunction in the brainstem for the regulation of cardio-respiratory control.  Major funding for the foundation's programs comes from memorial donations through funeral homes.  The organization researches the cause and provides emotional support for grieving families through its national self-help chapters and affiliates. 
The annual fundraising/awareness campaign is launched each October and the foundation's emblem, the Baby's Breath flower, is prominently displayed.
