As the proud Headline Charity for 2026, we invite you to run with us as a Charity Place Runner and make a tangible difference to the lives of sick and premature babies. Celebrate a prematurely born child, living or lost, or simply turn an incredible personal achievement into one that is life-saving too.
 
You'll experience the amazing camaraderie of our special team of runners, and will be part of a community running to fund urgently needed neonatal equipment for hospitals around Australia, saving the lives of sick and premature babies.
