April - Events and Peer Contact Training

The third weekend in March was very successful for both the events and training held for the Florida SIDS Alliance.
Golfers turned out on a beautiful March 20 morning at the Alaqua Country Club and played 18 holes without a raindrop this year. The tournament sponsors were Mark and Laura Lampke, and Jim True, all from Truevance, Inc. headquartered in Jacksonville.
Walkers were met with a terrible Saturday March 21 morning storm in Jupiter, but not only did the weather clear but over 45 walkers turned out for the 1st Annual Kiara Dawn Walk-A-Thon along the beautiful Riverwalk Park.
Peer contact training was held in Jupiter on March 22. We welcomed Stacy as a visitor and new peer contact from Maine. This training will be repeated again as other groups request the course. The one day training is available to parents who want to reach out to others in the spirit of support after the loss of an infant to any sudden and unexplained death in infancy.
Thanks to all that turned out for these events.
