Premmie Marathon Challenge 2025

My activity tracking

87
kms

My target 42 kms

Motivation

I have people close to me who have had premature babies so this one is close to home, and the reason I am doing it.

I want to get back into running and why not do it raising money for an important cause. 

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

I’ll be clocking up my kms in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival.

I'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 I complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.

Fancy joining me? You can sign up for the Premmie Marathon Challenge too! Simply choose your challenge distance and start clocking your kms for premmie babies.

Please help me
