New Fundraising Goal!

Wow - I can't believe all of the support Gus and I have gotten on Day 1! We are so thankful for our village and we have the best family and friends in the world. 

I'm increasing the fundraising goal to $2,350 - Gus' weight at birth (2.350 kilograms, which wasn't so bad for a guy his age)!

Thank you so much for your support already and can't wait to see how much we can raise by the end of November :) 

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge for Gus

Eleven months ago, my baby boy Gus was born at 34 weeks and 6 days. The amazing NICU team at Royal North Shore Hospital gave Gus the best care, and we were so lucky to have had the all of the resources and support that we did. I’ll never forget the feeling of leaving the hospital with my baby still in the NICU. So in the month leading up to Gus’ first birthday, I will be fundraising to make sure other families and babies continue to receive the same amazing care as our Gus. 

In honor of my healthy, happy boy, I’ll be clocking up 90 kms over the month of November - 18 kms for each of the 5 weeks Gus was born early. 

I'll be aiming to raise $1,207 in honour of Gus' birthday, December 7th. 

I'd love your support - if you can, please make a generous tax-deductible (in Australia) 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.
