To shine a light on the critical issue of premature birth, each year a wave of light sweeps the globe at 7pm lighting as many buildings and landmarks purple as possible. Since 2013 we have been coordinating lighting in Western Australia and the community support we have received has grown and grown. We are delighted to have more venues than ever before lighting up purple this year.
