About our Journey

I wanted to share a bit about our story and why this cause is so important to me and my family.

I was 32weeks pregnant with my first baby, on the Thursday morning at 12.05am my waters broke.

We made the drive down to the hospital in the pouring rain at 1am in the morning only to be met with a wide convoy of trucks taking over all the lanes down the mountain, as we crawled our way to the exit confused and scared on what would happen to our baby we eventually reached the hospital ward. We were told to get comfy we would be having a lovely stay to try and reach 34 weeks. Unfortunately that would not be the case, later the same day I was transferred to a different hospital where they attempted to stop my labour with medication which failed. At 2.55am on Friday morning my boy was born code blue. When I saw him hooked up to all the wires and the CPAP in NICU my heart broke and I felt that I had failed to keep him safe. Whether we were ready or not he was here and it was going to be a challenging road ahead.

I'll share more of our journey throughout the next few months.

To all those going through it now we're here for you, you will get through it. We're doing this challenge for you!

Amazing Start!

Thankyou so much to everyone who has donated so far we are so very grateful. The training has started hopefully November doesnt have as much rain!

We hope the money raised can help as many babies as possible to start to life with the best outcomes.

We have been so lucky and blessed that our baby boy overcame all the challenges thrown at him and is now a thriving 3 year old.

Thankyou to everyone for your support x

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.
