Premmie Marathon Challenge 2025

Walking 42km for Premature Babies

This November, I’ll be walking 42 kilometres to raise money and awareness fopremature babies and their families. 

Our beautiful boy was born at 32 weeks, and those early days were some of the hardest and scariest of our lives. Seeing our tiny little boy fighting so bravely in the NICU, surrounded by machines, tubes, and incredible nurses and doctors, it’s something I’ll never forget.

We were lucky. We had the support, care, and compassion of an amazing team who helped our baby grow stronger every single day. But not every family’s journey is easy, and that’s why I want to give back, to help other premature babies get the same chance.

Every step I take this month is for the tiny fighters in NICUs right now, for their parents, and for the incredible staff who care for them every single day.

If you’re able to, please consider donating to support this cause, every little bit helps make a difference for these babies and their families.

Thank you so much for your support, it truly means the world to me and to so many families
