My target 42 kms

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

Hi all!

This November I am aiming to walk/ride 42km for the worlds littlest warriors: premmie bubbies.

I would love your help to raise my fundraising goal of $525. 

Why this amount?

Because it can provide a premmie baby as small as only 500 grams with a state of the art ventilator in the NICU for seven weeks. 

Life saving equipment for seven weeks to help the little one's lungs grow as they are very underdeveloped when premature.

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.
