Thank you

Thank you to everyone who donated to my Premmie Marathon Challenge.
I've only just recovered from the mental and physical trauma that came with my first marathon.
The last 8kms was a deep, dark place for me. At the 30km mark, my legs started feeling heavy and my pace slowed.
With 8kms to go, l'd past the finish line and saw the family and support crew one last time before I headed out for the final loop. The energy they gave me was very short lived as the legs were starting to cramp badly. The last 4kms were torture! All muscles in both legs seemed to be on the verge of full on cramp. At one I point I stopped to stretch my quad but as I did, my hamstring started cramping badly. At that point I knew I couldn't stop anymore and I had to just keep moving. I ended up getting in just under 4 hours. During the back end of the run, when I started cramping in both quad and hamstring, it did cross my mind that I might not may it but it was the thought of the support l'd received during my fund raising and monies donated that spurred me over the line.
Thank you again to everyone who donated and offered words of support. Firstly, the money will be going to such a terrific cause and secondly, I wouldn't have been able to get across the finish line with the support from so many. Thank you.
The countdown is on.
I’m counting down the days until I take on my first marathon this Saturday at the Huskisson Running Festival.Training Gods have been against me..

Unfortunately, the week after I signed up for the marathon and kicked of this fundraising page, I naturally injured myself which stopped me in my tracks.. literally!!
Any donation is greatly appreciated.
It could be you..
1 in 10 babies are born premature which means chances are, you’ll know some who has had a baby who was born prematurely or know someone is was.
The truth is, before having Mae, I had never considered the plight of those who faced the challenges of having a baby born prematurely.
The truth is, we just expected to have a perfectly healthy full term baby like our first-born. In the days after Mae was born, I remember vividly thinking how arrogant I was to just expect that that would happen. For us, there were no signs. It just happened. When it did, we were so fortunate to have the life-saving equipment available to us. That’s why I am so passionate about raising funds for this great cause, so that if you or someone you love were to go through the same journey we did, that they will also be able to access the life-saving equipment and care that was available to us.
If you’re in position to, please donate.
This November, I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

I will be taking on my first-ever marathon at the Huskisson Marathon on Saturday 2 November.
As a father of Mae, a now six-year-old who was born at 28 weeks, this cause is one that is very close to my heart.
Our family was very fortunate to have access to life-saving neonatal equipment and staff that helped us through the difficult beginnings and we will be forever grateful.
During that time, I'd always vowed to one day complete an event to raise funds to continue the great work of NICUs that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival.
You can help either by joining the Premmie Marathon Challenge too (www.premmiemarathonchallenge.com), or making a tax-deductible donation here.
Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my first marathon on 2 November.
Thank you to my Sponsors
