Finley's unexpected arrival

Back in 2023, we got quite a surprise when Nikki went into spontaneous labour at 34 weeks gestation. When Finley was born, he was immediately whisked away to the NICU where he spent the next 3 weeks. The lifesaving equipment in the NICU supported his breathing and feeding and helped him to grow bigger and stronger. This experience gave us a great appreciation for everything that the amazing staff do and all the equipment needed for these littles ones. 

Now Finley has grown up into a beautiful, energetic boy!

 

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. 💜
