R Baby Foundation Spreads Awareness to New Parents
9News and Fox 31 KDVR
An Arvada couple is spreading awareness about the risks of enteroviruses to newborns, so other families will never experience the loss of a child. They started up Colorado's chapter of the "R Baby Foundation," which raises money to improve medical care for newborns.
The McMurrays are raising money for training, research and new technology at The Children's Hospital. The funds will pay for new technology and training that will allow emergency medical technicians to open the airways of babies who are having breathing emergencies. The money will also fund new research in the field of neonatal viruses and the development of a statewide 24/7 communication network that will allow generalist and rural pediatricians to connect to the experts at The Children's Hospital. The family will hold a 2-mile walk and family festival later this month.
