Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

I'm walking 71km to celebrate my baby, Eddie.

Eddie arrived far too soon at 31+1 weeks and spent 2.5 months fighting his way through NICU, HDU and Special Care. After months of respiratory support and learning to feed, he finally made it home but his journey isn’t over yet. Eddie is still tube-fed as he works towards feeding independently. Every milestone is a little victory, and every kilometre we walk is for our tiny but mighty boy. 💙

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. đź’ś
