Funds raised on Red Nose Day over the last 30 years have resulted in an incredible 85 percent reduction in sudden infant deaths. That’s 11,357 babies saved and counting.
Red Nose Day sparked a global movement and catalysed research into the reasons why babies die suddenly in their sleep.
And because of that, we now have six evidence-based steps all parents can take to reduce the risk of their baby dying in their sleep.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible public support for Red Nose Day.
But the fight must continue. And we still need your help.
Because more than 3,000 babies still die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in Australia. We are losing them to stillbirth, and SIDS among other things.
3,000 little lives are taken before they’ve had the chance to grow up – that's 9 little lives taken every single day. And 9 Australian families are devastated every single day.
