Safety Mom Alison Rhodes has been an active proponent of child health and safety issues ever since her first child died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in 1997. A fervent believer that parents are the best advocates for their children, Alison maintains a website and blog, and travels the country speaking on topics about children’s health and well-being, including cord blood banking.

Alison recently appeared on ABC San Francisco’s The View from the Bay television program, where she discussed emerging research involving cord blood stem cells as well as the cost of preserving a child’s own cord blood for future use – approximately $18 per month for the first 18 years of a child’s life.  “Things are being done with cord blood that are absolutely amazing,” Alison stated.  Given the tremendous pace of medical research, “it’s insurance for the future.”
