Let’s help give the tiny babies like Austin a fighting chance!
We’d never even seen a NICU until our tiny hero, Austin, arrived unexpectedly at just 24 weeks. For four long months, the NICU became home for him, Nathan, and me. We learned every beep, wire, and machine that helped keep our little boy alive.
Thanks to life-saving neonatal equipment — and the incredible doctors, nurses, and support from organisations like Running for Premature Babies — we’ve spent the past 7 years chasing our healthy, happy boy around. And this year, Austin himself is joining us to run for other little fighters.
So we’re lacing up for a cause close to our hearts — raising funds to give premature and critically ill babies a better shot at life.
We’ll be clocking up kms all November, and every step will be for the tiniest warriors who need our help.
Please support our team with a tax-deductible donation — it means the world and will keep us going through every km!
Want to run too? Join us! Pick your challenge distance and run in honour of the tiniest fighters. Let’s go, Chasing Austin!
