Running for Premature Babies

I'm trekking to save the lives of premature babies – will you please help?

In May 2026, I'm taking on the Larapinta Trail in outback Australia, not just for the adventure, but to raise vital funds for Running for Premature Babies – a cause very close to my heart.

Did you know that 26,000 babies are born prematurely in Australia each year? Many of them need urgent care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), where access to specialized equipment can make the difference between life and death.

This issue became personal when my niece’s baby – though not premature – spent six weeks in NICU. It showed me firsthand how quickly things can change, even for healthy mums, and how essential this life-saving care is.

I’m trekking in memory of all the tiny lives who’ve fought big battles, and in support of the Running for Premature Babies Foundation – a charity born from heartbreak and now making an extraordinary impact. Since 2006, they’ve raised over $9 million, funding 150+ pieces of equipment and helping 10,000+ babies so far.

Every donation is tax-deductible and will help me put one foot in front of the other, knowing I’m walking for something much greater than the distance.

Please support me if you can – every dollar makes a difference.
