She has collaborated with two other heavy-hitters in the fight against prematurity: The Colorado Springs Chapter of the Ronald McDonald House, and Memorial Hospital.Annas Preemie hopes the November 14th McCharity Drive brings the community closer to understanding that premature birth, while common, is a danger of which we should all be aware.And Annas Preemie also hopes that people learn that, while prematurity is still being researched and a cure is being sought, there is still so much a community can do to ease the pain in the meanwhile.### If you’d like more information about this topic, or wish to schedule an interview with Linda Dague, please call Amy Pringle at 719-244-7000 or email at annas@annaspreemie.com Colorado Springs, CO, October 28, 2006 --( PR.com )-- November is National Preemie Awareness Month and Annas Preemie (www.annaspreemie.com) has put business on the backburner to take up a more worthy cause; spreading the word about prematurity and its devastating effects.Not only are these infants simply tiny, but they have the highest probability of suffering lasting hearing and vision loss, chronic lung disease, and various forms of mental disability over those babies born at full term.Through the months of September and October Annas Preemie has brought Colorado Springs a glimpse of the plight of premature infants by promoting National Preemie Awareness Month and collecting donations of preemie-specific items from members of the community.
