Premmie Marathon Challenge 2024

My Activity Tracking

81
kms

My target 42 kms

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

My son Jack was born at 33 weeks gestation in September 2023. Jack started his life in the Special Care Nursery at St Andrew’s Hospital (Ipswich), being transferred by the neoRESQ team to the NICU at RBWH the next day due to a collapsed lung and requiring a higher level of care than St Andrew’s could provide. Jack spent just under a month across the two hospitals in the NICU & Special Care Nurseries. Jack will be 13 months old when I complete this Marathon in honour of him. 

I’ll be clocking up my kms in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival.

You can help either by joining the Premmie Marathon Challenge too (www.premmiemarathonchallenge.com), or making a tax-deductible donation here.

Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my ‘marathon’ through November, knowing that each km I complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.
