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.
