Why Borne/HMRI Research into Preterm Birth Matters to TLCco Store 💕
At TLCco Store, our mission goes beyond curating quality children's clothing – it's about supporting families and championing causes that truly matter. One cause that holds a special place in our hearts is the groundbreaking research into preterm birth by Borne/HMRI. This collaboration is deeply personal for us, especially for our co-founder, Jane.
🌱 Understanding Preterm Birth
Preterm birth – when a baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy – affects millions of families each year. It brings with it challenges for newborns' health and places emotional and financial strains on families. Despite advancements in medicine, the exact causes of preterm birth remain a mystery, making this area of research absolutely vital.
🤝 The Borne/HMRI Collaboration
Borne and the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) have teamed up to tackle this pressing issue. Their collaboration aims to uncover the root causes of preterm birth and develop life-changing interventions to prevent it. Together, they’re working to reduce preterm births and improve outcomes for mothers and babies worldwide. 🌍
❤️ A Personal Connection: Jane’s Story
For Jane, our co-founder, the fight against preterm birth is incredibly personal. In 2023, she experienced the devastating loss of her daughter, Ava, due to complications associated with preterm birth. This heartbreak has fuelled her determination to support research that could spare other families the same pain. Jane’s journey inspires everything we do at TLCco Store, and it’s why every purchase helps contribute to Borne/HMRI’s critical mission.
👨👩👧 Families Helping Families
As a social enterprise, TLCco Store is built on the belief that families helping families can create extraordinary change. A portion of our annual profits is donated to Borne/HMRI to support their research, and we encourage our retail partners to do the same. Together, we’re working towards safer pregnancies and brighter beginnings for mothers and babies everywhere.
