Premmie Marathon Challenge 2025

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge for my son Theodore

My precious son Theodore was born on the 6 June at 24 weeks but, the size of a 22 week baby. Weighing just 311 grams. 

To honour him and every premie and critically ill newborn, our family has created Team Theodore. 

Through November I’ll be clocking up my kms in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for NICU and Special Care nurses across Australia - funding life-saving neonatal equipment and giving these little ones the best chance at survival. 

Every step I take is for our family and all the other families like us holding onto hope. For all the tiny warriors like Theodore who remind us what real courage looks like. If you can, please consider donating or sharing my fundraiser. Your support could help save a life like Theodore’s.
