Story

November 17 is World Prematurity Day, a globally celebrated awareness day to increase awareness of preterm births. As part of World Prematurity Day, we will be hosting a live-streamed entertainment event which will include Irish musicians Tríona O’ NeillStephanie Rainey, Elly O’ Keeffe, and Irish/NYC hybrid Pet Beast, spoken-word artist Sasha Terfous, and interviews with parents of premature children who will share their experiences with the aim of offering support and community to other parents. 

The music video to ‘Little One’ a new single by Triona O’ Neill will also be streamed and shows a collection of real-life moments captured by preemie parents themselves. This insight into their journey showcases their incredible strength, highlighting the importance of World Prematurity Day and raising awareness of premature birth.

In the week leading up to the event, participants will be sharing their stories to raise awareness for World Prematurity Day with the hashtag #BornTooSoonNMHEvent #WorldPrematurityDay
