Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

I'm running 300km to celebrate my baby, Billy Boy.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. My beautiful Billy boy arrived five weeks early and spent the first two weeks of his life in the NICU. He needed CPAP support to help him breathe, and those early days were some of the most emotional and overwhelming time we’ve experienced. We will always be so grateful for the incredible care and support he received during that time. Seeing firsthand just how much premature babies and their families rely on specialist equipment, dedicated medical teams and NICU support has inspired me to give something back. Now it’s my chance to do that and do something out of my comfort zone which is running. I wish I was a natural runner and enjoyed it but I unfortunately I don’t (maybe after this I might). So I’m going to run everyday until I hit my target. . I’m raising money to help support premature babies and their families, so that more tiny fighters can receive the care they need during those precious first days and weeks of life. Any donation, big or small, would mean so much. πŸ’›

My Target

300KM

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. πŸ’œ
