For Taj, Sonny and Lenny

Premmie Marathon Challenge 2022

Help us give premature babies a better chance of survival

This month I will be taking part in the Premmie Marathon Challenge, running 42km over the whole of November. I am doing this for my boys Lenny and Taj, who were both born prematurely and sadly didnโ€™t survive and for my little miracle Sonny, who was born at 25 weeks gestation. We experienced first hand, the miracle of our health care system - the doctors, nurses, the groundbreaking research, and the lifesaving equipment that all contributed to sonny surviving and being here today as a happy, healthy and thriving 3 year old. This is a cause so close to my heart, and taking part in this challenge means I can continue to speak Taj and Lennyโ€™s name, to give meaning to their short lives. It means I can give back to these hospitals that have given so much to our family and I can help to make a difference in giving other premature babies the best possible chance at life. If you could share this post it would be greatly appreciated and if youโ€™re in a position to make a donation or even join our team and complete the challenge alongside me. Thank
You ?

Such a great cause and well done to you both โค๏ธโค๏ธ As you said, we witnessed first hand how important and imperative NICU is for every baby that’s admitted here,; But also how caring, understanding, knowledgeable, resilient and just fabulous at their job the nurses are. I’m so thankful they helped our babies through their journeys โค๏ธโค๏ธ
