Today I have a completely different post for me. I normally skip over posting Press Releases here simply because most of them are posted a billion times everywhere else. This press release is something that really needs to be posted anywhere and everywhere. It's for such a great cause and I hope that a lot of you guys will jump on board and share some manis throughout October (particularly on October 15th) and take part in the auctions.
Press Release 2016
October is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness
Month. Sadly, still today one in four pregnancies end in loss, leaving behind
devastated families. According to the Stillbirth Foundation Australia there are
six stillborn babies born every day in Australia, a statistic that has not
changed in decades.
Throughout the month of October, the Wave of Polish campaign
runs two main events to promote awareness and support for pregnancy and infant
loss, as well as to raise funds to support the charities supporting bereaved
parents.
In the first event you are encouraged to paint your nails
pink and blue to show your support. You
will also help raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss. We are in our 4th
year and have found many people encouraged to share their story, some for the
first time, just through the simple act of sharing our nails. Please don't forget to post your manis on
social media using the hashtag #waveofpolish and follow the IG @waveofpolish. October
15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness day, this is the best day to show
your support. If there is only one day you can paint your nails this month,
please chose this date. To honour the little ones taken too young on the 15th
of October at 7pm wherever you live please join in and stop a moment with us
and light a candle. As the clock, strikes seven in different parts of the world
a wave of light will wash over the world for those precious angels who we no
longer share this earth with. We also want this to be a day across the nail
community that shows parents we care, we remember, we are here to support you
by sharing your nails.
The second event is a large auction of one of a kind
polishes made especially for Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness and not
commercially available. We have many extremely talented makers from around the
world that have created this polishes. The Wave of Polish auctions start on the
8th of October and finishes on the awareness day 15th the same time you light
your candle, 7pm. Gorgeous hand blended nail polishes are on offer as the
auction ships internationally to anyone in the world who registers. All the
proceeds go to help the parents and families grieving the loss of their child
by going to SANDS Australia and MISS foundation in United States. Details on
how to bid on the gorgeous polishes offered are on our
blog site http://www.waveofpolish.blogspot.com

There are some scars
that can’t be seen by the eye
Some wounds that will never heal
Some hurts that time will never mend
And broken hearts with pieces missing that will never be whole again.
