A dozen families gathered at Pollard Park last Sunday to celebrate the start of New Zealand Multiple Birth Awareness Week. Marlborough Multiple Birth Club co-ordinator Kirsty Saxon said it was fantastic to meet some new families and their children, as well as one mum expecting twins next year. The youngest set of twins at the event were five week old twins Samara and Matilda Harris, the oldest were 14 year olds Callum and Joshua Rowe. There was even one set of triplets - Jack, Stella and Ben Clark, with big sister Nina.
Fellow twin mum and cake decorator Keri Rowe donated a colourful multiple birth themed cake. The aim of the Marlborough Multiple Birth Club is to support families with information and assistance leading up to the birth and as their children grow. Any family with multiples is welcome to join. The club is affiliated with the Christchurch Multiple Birth Club and the New Zealand Multiple Birth Club Association. For more information, please ring Kirsty 021 128 4719.
