We’re almost at that time again – July is Group B Strep Awareness Month. Would you help raising awareness of group B Strep.
Sadly, even today, so many expectant parents just haven’t heard about group B Strep. And if they don’t know about it, how can they take steps to reduce the chance of group B Strep affecting their baby?
I don’t know but, perhaps, if I had known, it could have made all the difference.
UK charity, Group B Strep Support, has set up a Thunderclap which is a sort of social media flash-mob! At 10.00 am on 1 July 2017, everyone who supports the Thunderclap will share the same message on facebook and/or twitter, and kick-start this year’s Group B Strep Awareness Month.
There are already ?? (currently 196) supporters, and the posts will reach over ?? (currently 133,486) people. With your help, we could reach millions!
Will you support it too? If so, please click the link below.
Once the new parliament has settled down a bit, I’ll be in touch again to update you with progress there.
In the meantime, thank you all so much for being part of this important community, all of us wanting to do all we can to save babies from group B Strep infection.
Best wishes,
Fiona
