Premmie Marathon Challenge 2025

My activity tracking

63
kms

My target 42 kms

Blown away and incredibly grateful!!

Friends and Family, thank you so much for your support!!

I have been blown away to have met my $1,100 fundraising target in less than 24 hours and before I had even run 1km!! I am beyond grateful for your support of this cause which is incredibly close to home after our time in NICU with Annabelle this year. We know how vital this equipment can be! 

As such, I have increased my fundraising target, hoping to raise $2,500 before the end of the month. And while I can't make this official, I have decided to commit to you all that I will complete 62kms - one for each day our little girl spent in NICU.

Look forward to keeping you updated on my progress. Run 1 in the books this morning - 5kms done, 57km to go!

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

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.

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.
