Running for Sonny

Sonny - Our reason for running  

This cause is especially close to our hearts. Our little boy made his entrance into the world far too soon at just 32 weeks in June this year. Those early days were filled with uncertainty — but thanks to the incredible doctors, nurses, and the life-saving equipment in the NICU, he was given the best possible chance to thrive.

This November, we will be clocking up my kilometres in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for vital neonatal equipment that helps give premature and critically ill babies  a better chance at survival.

Every step we take is in honour of him — and for every family who finds themselves in the NICU.

We’d love your support - if you can, please make a generous tax-deductible donation here. Thank you for your support. Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my challenge through November, knowing that each km we complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.

Or, if you’d like to join us, you can sign up for the Premmie Marathon Challenge too! Just choose your distance and start clocking up your kms for premmie babies.
