Ambulance glow with a Red Nose!
The Ambulance Service
of NSW (Ambulance) is helping raise awareness of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome by supporting Red Nose Day.
Throughout the month of June every operational Ambulance vehicle across the State will proudly display a red nose on the bonnet. Besides general ambulances, red noses will also be displayed on four wheel drive vehicles in the mountains, plains and beaches, skidoos and over-snow vehicles in the alpine regions and rescue trucks and rapid response vehicles in the city and suburban areas – even our aeroplanes!
Ambulance has supported this important initiative for over a decade and has made it an annual event of donning a red nose on all operational vehicles as a show of support.
Although Red Nose Day is promoted throughout the month of June, promotional activities culminate on Friday 26th June, 2009 with Ambulance providing a supporting role in Martin Place, Sydney where SIDS and KIDS will be appearing on the Sunrise Program on Channel Seven.
Red Nose Day is the major fundraiser for SIDS and KIDS and all funds raised assist SIDS and KIDS in providing vital free services and programs dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and to supporting bereaved families.
Ambulance is committed to assisting the community create safer and healthier environments and outcomes by making prevention everyone’s businesses. A number of innovative community education programs have been implemented to assist identify life threatening conditions, understand what to do in an emergency and the importance of adopting illness prevention strategies.
