Did you no there is 2.6 MILLION stillbirths alone each year globally?? Emerikus Land Foundation is giving grieving parents & family's more time with their babies before the finally goodbye by donating COLD CUDDLE COTS to maternity hospitals AUSTRALIA WIDE. To date we have donated 5 packages through fund raising doing Sausage sizzles and online Auctions and through the generosity of people making donations. Sending parents down to the Morgue is distressing its not a nice place to want to have to have memories of your baby. Cold cuddle cots stop the need for all the extra grief that can be caused due to time away from baby and also having to go to the cold uninviting morgue. While we are giving parents extra time we are also giving them beautiful memories of their time spent with their babies by donating a beautiful bassinet that hides the Machine and tubing itself under the skirting that is placed around the bassinet. Having photos taking of their babies inside our bassinet is much nicer then the clinical ones. All of our bassinets plus bedding that is also donated is all Embroidered with Emerikus Land Foundation. We also give parents a blanket from the foundation as a keep sake item, As we no its all these little things that we will treasure for the rest of our life. www.facebook.com/emerikuslandfoundation www.emerikuslandfoundation.org.au While your donation is helping us to reach our goals it is helping parents through the darkest days of their lives and even if we only helped one family our goal is already a success in our eyes.

Bowel cancer is 90% curable if detected early. Despite this, it is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in Australia. The Jodi Lee Foundation exists to educate people about the importance of bowel cancer screening and that early detection saves lives. Our primary objectives are to: 1. Promote awareness about the high incidence of bowel cancer and encourage early detection through regular screening from age 40 2. Establish and promote a bowel cancer screening program that allows businesses to offer tests to their employees 3. Build an online questionnaire, in conjunction with the Cancer Council SA and CSIRO, to help people self-assess their risk of developing bowel cancer based on their family history
The Channel Seven Telethon Trust is a registered charity with a philosophy that financially supports the medical and social welfare of children and young people and funds research into children’s diseases. In 1968 the board of Channel 7 Perth made a conscious decision to serve the community and created a continuous 20 hour broadcast to raise money called "Telethon". The first appeal raised $104,829 - a lot of money in 1968. A charitable trust was registered with an independent group of people dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people throughout Western Australia appointed as Trustees whose role would be to decide on where the funds were distributed each year.
