Our
Mission
The
Matty Eappen Foundation exists to safeguard the lives
of babies and toddlers. Shaken Baby Syndrome kills
or permanently injures hundreds of infants each year.
Matty Eappen died at the age of eight months. In Matty's
memory, the foundation was established to help prevent
future tragedies. Our goal is to improve the safety
and welfare of children by educating the public about
the dangers of shaking a child. The most significant
fact about Shaken Baby Syndrome is that it is entirely
preventable.
Never
Shake A Baby!
