A free walk along Copenhagen's lakes, held on International Neonatal Awareness Day to make the experiences of families with premature or seriously ill babies more visible. The walk is a chance to acknowledge what these families go through, to thank the healthcare professionals who care for them, and to highlight how important it is that parents can stay close to and take an active part in their child's care.
Everyone is welcome, whether family, friends, neighbours, colleagues or health professionals, and no prior connection to neonatal care is needed. There is room for sharing stories, meeting others and showing families that they have a community behind them. Look out for the purple balloons, purple being the colour of Neonatal Day.
