Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

For my boys, George And Angus.

My twin boys were born at 35+2 weeks gestation and miraculously didn’t need any NICU time. My twin pregnancy was high risk so I spent a lot of time learning a lot about premature babies and NICU. The nurses and doctors perform miracles on babies, and any support we can provide can have life-changing outcomes.

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. 💜
