Nainoa’s team is giving back to the community

Before our son Nainoa was born, we had no idea that almost 1 baby out of ten born in Australia is a premature baby. 

When the doctor told us that our baby was coming 10 weeks early, we could not imagine what the next hours, days and weeks were gonna look like. As first-time parents of a premmie baby who had heart complications and stayed for 11 weeks in NICU, this was a very challenging time for both of us and for the little warrior in the crib. 

Today Nainoa is 7, he’s happy, cheeky and smart and makes us proud every day. We feel incredibly grateful for the medical care that was provided to Nainoa and for the support we received during that time from the amazing NICU community. 

This is why this November, we will be taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge.

Together, we'll be walking, running and moving throughout November while raising funds for Running for Premature Babies. The money we raise will help fund life-saving neonatal equipment and research, supporting premature babies and their families across Australia.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide the equipment and care these babies need during their most critical days.

We'd love your support. By donating to our team, you'll be helping us make every kilometre count for Australia's tiniest babies.

And if you'd like to be part of the challenge too, we'd love you to join our team (it's easy - just click JOIN OUR TEAM above). Choose your distance, get moving this November, and help us make an even bigger impact together.

Thank you for supporting us and helping more babies survive and thrive. 💜
