The DW and I have mentioned the Preemie Project and it’s role in Peanut’s stay at the Iowa Children’s Hospital NICU.

In honor of National Prematurity Awareness Month, the Preemie Project is campaigning to raise $4,473 in November to support families in Iowa NICUs. Funds will be raised between November 1st and November 17 and used to purchase supplies on Black Friday that support the project’s programs. The number 4473 is significant because in 2010 4473 infants were born preterm in Iowa. (One of those infants was our very own Lulu!)

So, if you’d like to partake in the craziness of Black Friday without leaving your bed and footy pajamas behind before the crack of dawn consider making a donation to the Preemie Project’s Black Friday Fundraiser. Can you think of a better gift than a warm and fuzzy homemade something for a preterm infant?
