This November I’m running 42km for equipment for premature babies

I’ll be running 42kms across November in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment. This equipment will give critically ill and premature babies the best possible chance of surviving. 

As many of you will know, our little boy was born early at 32 weeks, weighing only 1.86kgs. We were one of the lucky ones and only needed a relatively short stay in the NICU/SCN of 30 days. Many of the families around us had been there even longer. During our little guy’s stay, we saw firsthand the lifesaving equipment and amazing staff using it to give all of our little premmie babies the best chance to leave the NICU. Please help me to ensure that our wonderful hospitals have access to the equipment to continue looking after premature babies.

I'd love your support - if you can, please make a donation below. Every little bit makes a difference (bonus it’s tax deductible too). 

Thank you lovely friends and family for supporting a cause really close to my heart.
