I'm walking 142km in memory of my baby, Josiah Kenneth Codrington.

Our darling boy, forever our joy and our inspiration. Your little life mattered. We love you forever Josiah. This is for you.

My Why

On December 5, 2024, my beautiful son Josiah was born, against all odds.
Josiah arrived at 24+4 weeks, and severely growth restricted, weighing just 405g.

He changed our world. Every day by his side was a privilege and a blessing. For 7 weeks he fought. For 7 weeks, the incredible NICU team at Royal North Shore Hospital cared for our beautiful boy, and for Josh and I as his parents.

Tragically, at 48 days old, Josiah passed away after some unexpected complications.

We miss him every single day, but he remains the light of our life. We are so proud of the way he fought, and in awe of his strength.

Every step, every kilometre in this challenge, is first and foremost for him. It is also for all the other tiny warriors out there, fighting for their own lives.
We honour Josiah’s life by the way we live ours. And this is just one more way to honour his legacy and little life.

Josiah, you are forever our inspiration and joy. We love you.

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. 💜
