I'll run. They'll win.
Support My 10km Run for Premature babies.
On Sunday, 9th March 2025, I will be running 10km to raise funds for neonatal resources that played a crucial role in the lives of my niece and nephew. Born at 28 weeks and 34 weeks, they faced significant challenges early on. Thanks to the incredible facilities and support of neonatal resources, they are now healthy and happy 9 and 6 year olds. Your support can help provide the same life-saving care to other families in need. Every donation counts!
Did you know that 26,000 babies are born prematurely in Australia each year, and many hospitals are in need of upgraded neonatal equipment to save their lives?
I’m running to raise funds to support the wonderful work of Running for Premature Babies in giving these premature babies a better chance of survival, and I’d really love your support.
This charity was founded in memory of baby triplets, Henry, Jasper & Evan Smith, who were unable to overcome their prematurity when they were born in 2006. Since then over $9 million has been raised, providing 150 pieces of life-saving equipment that has directly benefitted over 10,000 babies.
Your donation will help keep me motivated, knowing that my race is about so much more than my finishing time.
Any donation, no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated and will make a tangible difference to the lives of so many tiny babies.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Thank you so much for your support
