Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

I'm walking 85km to celebrate my baby, Lovey Lou.

Our beautiful Lovey Lou made her entrance into the world at just 27 weeks, weighing a tiny 835g. She spent 85 days in the NICU, where we watched our little fighter grow stronger every single day. 🥹💕 This November, we’re taking part in the Premmie Marathon, walking 85km throughout the month — 1km for every day Lovey spent in the NICU — to raise money and awareness for premature babies and their families. 👣💜 Our NICU journey is a huge part of our story, and we know firsthand just how much support, care and love these tiny fighters and their families need. Every step we take is for Lovey, for the babies still fighting their battles, and for the families spending their days hoping and praying for their little miracles. 🫶🏼 ✨ We’d love for you to be part of our journey! 👟 Join our team and walk alongside us throughout November. 💜 Donate if you can — every dollar, big or small, makes a difference. 📲 Share our fundraiser to help spread the word! Whether you walk 1km or 85km with us, every step counts, and every donation is so appreciated. For our tiny girl who showed us just how strong 835g can be. 💕 Every step is for you, Lovey Lou. 👣

My Target

85KM

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. 💜
