On this day each year stop and remember all the children who lost their lives as a result of an unintentional injury, and acknowledge those children and families living with the consequences of preventable injury.

Summer's Day

Summer

Summer’s Day is named in memory of a little girl who lost her life after swallowing a coin/button battery that burned through her oesophagus and into her aorta. Summer Steer represents the 75 Queensland children who die each year from unintentional, preventable injuries and the 90,000 Queensland children who attend emergency departments or are admitted to hospital each year.
