Last year I was reasonably new to blogging and Twitter. March of Dimes approached me to join in Bloggers Unite Fight for Preemies, which I was more than happy to do. I really enjoyed it, and the Twitter conversations. I was so green back then I didn't even know how to put a badge on my blog and the March of Dimes team held my hand and showed me how to do it!So this year, I really want to ramp it up, and see loads of my mummy and blogger friends getting involved in this important event. March of Dimes want this to go global this year the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants, Africa’s Little Big Souls International Foundation and Australia’s National Premmie Foundation are all involved, so it's going to be a diverse and exciting range of blog posts and people tweeting.
You don't have to have had personal experience of having a premature baby. With 1 in 9 premature babies born each year in the UK, you will know one, and of course you know me. You can write about anything, a newspaper article, a television programme, a friend, a relative. You could post a picture, or a poem, or even get your kids involved, or a even do a vlog.
Maybe you don't even blog, but you would love to get involved. I'm happy to collate guest posts, and perhaps if we get many contributions a few of my preemie blogging friends can help host. This could be a great opportunity to share your baby's or child's story.
So why don't you comment below and pledge to blog for preemies on November 17th! If you need any support or advice, let me know. I will also collate some topic ideas and post these at the beginning of November.
