Help us give premature babies like Sully a better chance of survival
We're back again in 2025 to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival. We know first hand how imperative this equipment is to premmie babies survival, with our son Sully being in the Royal Darwin Hospital for 113 days last year. Throughout his stay, he relied on equipment such as ventilators, monitors and humidi-cribs. At one point we joked, saying not to position him in the direction of a piece of equipment he hadn't used as he'd want to be hooked up to it (if you can't laugh, you'd cry). It surprised us at how heavily the hospitals relied on equipment to be donated. We'd appreciate any donation possible and thank you for your continued support!
Sully, our ex-24 weeker, is now 1 year old corrected and keeping us on our toes! He'll be joining us as we walk, run and ride to achieve our km's for this years Premmie Marathon Challenge. We're even hoping that he might even be taking some steps of his own by the end of November!
Fancy joining us? You can sign up for the Premmie Marathon Challenge too! Simply choose your challenge distance and start clocking your kms for premmie babies.
Thank you to our Sponsors
