Premmie Marathon Challenge 2025

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

Hey guys I'm doing the premmie marathon this year! 

Both my little boys were premmie. My oldest was born at 34 weeks from a cord prolapse. My partner and I spent 3 weeks in Brisbane and 3 weeks in Rockhampton before being able to return home and even then we were still on home oxygen for the first 2 months.

Our second boy was born at 35 weeks due to my partner contracting Crypto virus, and ended up putting her into Labor. And then we spent weeks in hospital before able to come home

I know my boys aren't the most premmie babies, I have friends and colleagues that have had from 28 weeks and up this charity really makes that difference between a critical early start for those little ones!
