Premmie Marathon Challenge 2026

I'm running 71km to celebrate my baby, Elisa And Hazal.

I’ll be taking on 71km run during November to help provide the lifesaving care premature babies need when they enter the world far too soon. This fundraiser sits incredibly close to my heart. My twins were born prematurely at just 31 weeks, and after spending 96 days in the NICU, I know firsthand how much those tiny babies and their families rely on the incredible care, equipment and people around them. Even now, I still carry those NICU days with me. The monitors, the uncertainty, the tiny milestones that meant everything, and the overwhelming gratitude of finally being able to bring my babies home. Every kilometre I complete will be for the premature babies still fighting, for the parents sitting beside an incubator hoping for another good day, and for the incredible teams helping give those babies the strongest possible start in life. If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean more to me than I can put into words. 🤍

My Target

71KM

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. 💜
