According to its website, the Baby Loss Awareness Week Alliance is “committed to raising awareness of pregnancy and baby loss, providing support to anyone affected by pregnancy loss and the death of a baby, working with health professionals and services to improve bereavement care, and reducing preventable deaths.”
The cause is certainly important to Kate, who has long worked in the realm of early childhood development.
'We all need to know the critical importance of our early childhood,' the princess wrote in an open letter last year while announcing the launch of a new campaign for her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. 'They really are years like no other in our lives. I urge everyone reading this, to take the opportunity to learn more about this incredible time of life, to think back to your own childhood and how it shaped you, and most importantly, to ask yourselves what you can do to make the world a more supportive and loving place for our children. Because healthy, happy children shape a healthy, happy future.'
