Running for Avery - Tokyo Marathon 2026!

Take on your own challenge

Running for Avery - Tokyo Marathon 2026!

I began running in 2017 with Running for Premature Babies, and since then have completed the New York and London Marathons in honour of our son, Avery Gabriel.

Thanks to your support, we helped fund a phototherapy unit for Alice Springs Hospital - a lasting legacy in Avery’s name and for his surviving twin brother Flynn, who received life-saving neonatal care.

I’m now training for the Tokyo Marathon 2026. Together we’ve raised $17,000, and our goal is raise $8000 to reach a total of $25,000 to help more premature babies receive the care they need. 

Thank you for being part of this journey and together, we’re creating hope, legacy, and a better chance of survival for premature babies. 

We have a fundraising event in Adelaide on Saturday 7th Feb, and you can buy tickets here on this link :

Thank you so much for your support! 

Love, Emilie x
