I'm walking 71km to celebrate my baby, Lenny.

Our brave little lion, Lenny, was born at 30 weeks. He spent 105 days in the NICU & Special Care Nursery (Monash) before finally coming home. We will be forever grateful for the incredible care he received. Now we want to give back by fundraising to support other little premmie fighters needing lifesaving NICU care and equipment.

My Target

71KM

Every day in Australia, 71 babies are born prematurely.

This November, I'm taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge to give these babies the best chance at life.

The funds I raise will help Running for Premature Babies provide life-saving neonatal equipment for hospitals around Australia, giving premature and critically ill babies the chance to grow stronger and go home with their families.

If you're able to support me, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation helps fund the equipment and research that gives premature babies a better chance of survival and quality of life.

Thank you for supporting my challenge and helping Australia's tiniest babies. 💜
