Departure Lounge with Karl River's Gift

Episode 459,   May 26, 2020, 04:21 AM

River’s Gift evolved from a simple pledge following the death of River Waddell to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in November 2011. 
This pledge was to Stamp Out SIDS and ensure that no other parent would endure the pain and suffering of the unexpected and unexplained loss of their precious child.
River’s Gift...
* Funds world leading SIDS research with $70,000 recently dedicated to a genetic study at The University of Adelaide
* Provides research based education for parents, parents to be, grandparents and health professionals on Safe sleep and SIDS
* Enables other SIDS families to have a platform to honour their own child through supported fundraising events, friendships…and an element of hope for the future.
Let's get active and honour River's 9th birthday, with River's Gifts 'virtual' run training program, starting May 25.
Karl, father to River checked into the Departure Lounge to encourage us to lace up and get moving.
