The early arrivals

Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

To Tommy and Heidi

We formed The Early Arrivals in honour of two very special little people in our lives – Tommy and Heidi. 🩷🩵


Both Tommy and Heidi arrived earlier than expected and, although their time in NICU was relatively short, we experienced firsthand just how important those early days of care and support can be.


Our experience inspired us to take part in the Premmie Marathon Challenge, recognising not only Tommy and Heidi’s early beginnings but also the thousands of premature and critically ill babies and their families navigating their own journeys.

We’re taking on this challenge to help give Australia’s tiniest babies the best possible chance at life.


If you’re able to support our team, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation will help Running for Premature Babies provide life-saving neonatal equipment to hospitals around Australia, giving premature and critically ill babies the chance to grow stronger and go home with their families.


Thank you for supporting The Early Arrivals, and helping us make a difference for Australia’s tiniest babies. 💜

Thank you to our donors
