Lastly, I know how challenging it would be to in fact get your voice heard. Building this web page has given me first-hand knowledge about how hard it actually could be to a) Get Google to find you (we are now over 80,000 visits per month! Yeah!), b) Get men and women to stay and read (average is 2 minutes), c) Get persons to open e-mails (why the link to this article went in my newsletter titled “How Thanksgiving Will Affect Your Baby’s Sleep” and nothing to do with prematurity), and d) Get men and women to act (click on a link, forward to a friend, etc.). So, in order for Prematurity Awareness to get the attention it deserves, it will take marketing, educating, and men and women sharing/acting. I don’t know who “organizes” all of these unique months, but with out a force behind it, the news stories won’t cover it, there won’t be ribbons to pin on our shirts, or “races for the cure.” It will continue to be just an additional item on the list of unique months.
