Back story

This one is close to my heart.
Theo was born not breathing & spent 5 days in the NICU. 
I was put to sleep after hearing a code blue called for Theo. I woke up in recovery not knowing if my baby was alive or not. As soon as I was allowed to leave recovery I was taken to see Theo in the NICU. I was still in my bed when I was taken to see him, in his little fully enclosed crib a Dr was working hard to get an IV into his little body as he needed to have antibiotics. Over the next 2 days Theo was on round the clock care. He was given a spinal tap to be tested for meningitis which we were grateful came back negative. By day 3 he was able to be dressed and was moved into an open crib & on day 5 we were finally able to take our little boy home! 

I will forever be thankful that we had staff, resources & equipment on hand to help Theo during this time. 
So please, if you can, big or little, donate to our future bubs who are born early or needing assistance ???

Back again for another year! This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge & my goal this time round is to do 100km!

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.

I'd love your support - if you can, please make a generous tax-deductible donation here.

Thank you for your support.
Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my challenge through November, knowing that each km I complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.

Fancy joining me? You can sign up for the Premmie Marathon Challenge too! Simply choose your challenge distance and start clocking your kms for premmie babies.
