Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

I'm walking 213km in memory of my baby, Loki.

In 2020 I had severe preeclampsia and ALF. My pregnancy was traumatic, but my birth was even more traumatic. Both of us nearly did not survive, and it didn't stop postpartum due to eclampsia, with us both fighting battles. My baby was premature and needed time in the NICU, and I stayed in a room in hospital getting care for postpartum preeclampsia and hypertension.

My Target

213KM

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. 💜
