Our Impact
Supporting hospitals around Australia
In Australia, 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely, which equates to 26,000 babies every year. Many of these babies require Neonatal Intensive Care, which is one of the most expensive parts of health care. Caring for a premature baby can cost anywhere between $3,500 and $10,000 per day.
Running for Premature Babies is proud to support the equipment and research needs of Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and Special Care Nurseries (SCNs) Australia-wide to help give premature babies a better chance of survival and quality of life.
Since 2007, Running for Premature Babies has raised over $10 million, providing over 180 pieces of life saving neonatal equipment for hospitals around Australia, helping save the lives of approximately 10,000 babies, and funding $800,000 of research to advance the care of premature babies for the future.
