Lani Mackenzie

Premmie Marathon Challenge 2024

My Activity Tracking

100
kms

My target 100 kms

This November, I am running for my baby boy & the 26,000 premmie babies born in Australia each year.

On the 26th of August 2024 we gave birth to our sweet premature baby boy Finley Mackenzie.

Our baby boy was perfect, 10 tiny fingers & 10 tiny toes, his dad’s nose, mums pouty lips, the most perfect little belly, and although tiny.. he was tall! Heartbreakingly Finley was born sleeping.

In November I’m running 100kms for my son and the 26,000 babies that are born prematurely in Australia every year.

‘Running for Premature Babies’ raises funds to upgrade and supply hospitals with neonatal equipment & much needed research that helps save preemie lives.
Since 2007 this cause has raised over $7 million and saved over 10,000 premature babies.

I aim to raise $500 for all the tiny babies who have a chance to make it & all the sweetest souls like Finley who do not.

Thank you doesn’t seem to cover all the gratitude and love we have felt thus far, but we thank you for all your love & support.
