For every 10 babies born across the world one will be preterm and the fate of these tiny babies is often very uncertain. They are kept alive by science, care, and luck. Time in a neonatal unit can be a stressful and unpredictable time.

Finally, the foundation bringing purple butterflies to NICUs across the UK to help identify surviving children of multiple births.
