This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

As a father of a premmie baby I saw this as an opportunity to raise awareness and also help support the NICU unit that gives these babies a fighting chance. 

My wife and I are forever thankful for all the nurses and doctors who achieved a miracle to save our baby Samuel, who arrived unexpectedly early. Samuel was born at 28 weeks at only 1399lbs. Today he is a healthy 3 year old boy living his best life. 

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.
