About The Matty Eappen Foundation

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.
