Leave footprints for babies like Isabella
Last year my wife and I went through something that is way too common yet something nobody should have to experience. We were one of the outliers where our little girl came way too early and ended up losing the fight. Although we left the hospital alone and broken, there were and are still countless families staying there that need support.
This is finally our chance to give back and help them out. Isabella's Footprints is dedicated to racking up as many kms as we can in November to help bring awareness and much needed funding to the families in need.
However, we cannot do it alone. Any money that you can spare will help immensely. A drop of water helps fill the bucket.
If you're motivated enough you can even join our team and leave your own footprints.
If running isn't your thing and donating isn't possible please share this story and spread the word. Having a premature baby is tragic but it doesn't have to be hopeless - the difference starts with you.
Thank you for helping

Thanks Mark xxx we were blessed with 2 amazing Premmie bubs xxx although what was meant to be the most amazing time of our lives. It was the most stressful, emotional, scary time that I never wish to do again. Thankfully especially with Tobey, we had an amazing outcome!!!
