British couple establishes fund for babies with respiratory problems in Shanghai

A British couple, Scott and Cecile Spirit, has donated RMB400,000 to the Shanghai Children's Hospital to jumpstart the Foundation for Newborns with Respiratory Diseases in the memory of one of their twin sons who died four weeks after they were born prematurely. The Shanghai Children's Health Foundation will donate a further RMB100,000 to the fund which aims to help poor parents seeking treatment for their babies born with respiratory diseases — the cause of 15 percent of neonatal mortality in China. Scott Spirit moved to Shanghai late 2006 and is the China Strategy Director for the advertising group WPP. [Source]
