Update

Hi all, thanks to all those that have already donated to this great cause, to those that haven't I would really appreciate your support as I have seen first hand the amazing work these people do and had the pleasure of chatting with them at the Melbourne Marathon on the weekend. They are real and they provide much needed equipment to neonatal facilities across the country to help give all premmie babies a real fighting chance. My grandsons and their parents are kicking real goals on their premmie  journey and would really appreciate your support. I have just updated my target dollar amount and added a couple of photos of Mav and Fletchys' journey so far. The challenge is in November and as such I have been 'limping' through a couple of practice runs in the warm up to 71 kms for the challenge. Cheers.

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. 💜
