The Crank Triplets
THE TRIPLETS IN OUR HEADER IMAGE
Equipment donated by Running for Premature Babies, including technologically advanced humidicribs, state of the art ventilators and monitors supported the little trio who made it home on New Years Eve 2014, and they have since thrived.
They are now bright, energetic and happy boys and are taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge themselves so others can be as lucky as they have been.
