Team Indiana

Take on your own challenge

Wollongong Running Festival

Such a fun day at Wollongong Running Festival. We’ve all been sick with that weird lurgy that's going around, there was no real prep, no training for two weeks and it was a fair slog - Wollongong  has so many hills!!

The marshals were so awesome, they cheered our son the whole way.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored us and for all your words of encouragement xx  ?

Canberra Running Festival - We did it!

What a great day! A cold morning, with lots of crowd buzz. Scomo threatened to hold up the race with an unexpected motorcade, thankfully there wasn't too much action on Capital Hill as we ran!

Another massive thank you to everyone who sponsored our run and wished us well. We raised over $1000 and collectively ran over 20Km on the day.

We also got to meet Australian champion and running legend Rob de Castella AKA Deeks which is was an honor and a thrill!

Team Indiana

We are running for the little babies in memory of our dearest little Indiana. This year we will be running to raise money, starting with Canberra Running Festival this April. RFPB  is close to our hearts - it really does make a difference to people's lives, it's an amazing support for people like our family and the money you donate goes to equipment in NICUs and research for the babies who need it most.

A little bit about our Indi...
Indiana was born at 26 weeks in a regional hospital that didn't have the equipment or the staff to help her adequately. After birth, I watched my daughter be carried from me to a heat light crib in the corner, her tiny bruised body in a plastic kidney tray.  A midwife scrambled to find a make shift oxygen mask small enough for her tiny face. After hours of the OB trying to find a NICU bed somewhere in NSW, Indi was transported via NETS the next day to Nepean Hospital where sadly she passed away 12 days later.

In our country of abundance, there shouldn't be another story like Indiana's. Sophie and Running for Premature Babies have stepped up to ensure more babies get the care and the chance of survival they need.

Our little saints memory lives on through helping others. Please help us support this amazing cause.

Thanks for reading,
