Take on your own challenge

Help us give premature babies a better chance of survival

I have registered to run my first marathon - 42.2km!!

I will be running in the Blackmores Sydney Marathon and I will be fundraising for Running for Premature Babies.

As most of my friends and family know, our beautiful Mila was born 8 weeks early and without the support of the doctors and nurses at The Royal Hospital for Women, Mila and I would not have been so fortunate.

It means so much to me to be able to challenge myself and give back to such an amazing cause.

I would really appreciate any donations and will run with pride in my purple Running for Premature Babies Babies shirt on race day

Please Help Me

You are inspiring Karen! Knowing full well how it feels to have a premmie baby (obviously slightly different) this is something very important to my heart also. Goodluck! Xx
