1 in 10 babies is born too soon. #PretermBirth is the leading cause of death and disability in children.
Baby Elias was born at just 22 weeks, no bigger than a soft drink, fighting to survive. Tiny babies like Elias are at risk of brain injury from inflammation, which can cause lifelong conditions.
