Hiking for Percy

Red Set Go 2026

Day One

It was a beautiful sunny winters' day in Naarm, perfect conditions for the first Hiking for Percy team walk for Red, Set, Go!

I managed to clock 8km and 12,000 steps in honour of my dear Percy, mostly walking with Percy's brothers and pushing a pram in to children's parties, the local grocer and the park. But I did spend some solitary time walking as well. It's a lovely practice and I am enjoying this challenge already. It will be lovely to have this yearly ritual to honour him and also bring attention to such an important organisation.

My sister also clocked in her steps in her weekend routine on the streets of Darlinghurst in Sydney. 

We are both so humbled and happy to see that we have raised over half our goal already! 

Until tomorrow

Hiking for Percy

We’re Hiking for Percy this August to raise funds for Red Nose

On 9 June in 2021 during the Covid lockdowns I gave birth to my first son, the most precious boy Percy Jiè Sōng. Just two days after he was born, Percy died suddenly and unexpectedly. My greatest joy turned into my greatest pain and sorrow in an instant. I can only describe it as feeling completely lost at sea and no life boat in sight. There is no ache quite like the feeling of empty arms that should be full of young life. 

I want to support parents like me who have experienced this life altering heartbreak, and raise funds to help save little lives – that’s why I’m taking on the Red, Set, Go Challenge this August with my dear sister along for the ride. 

Donate to our fundraiser now and you’ll help fund vital research that will save little lives – and provide counselling and support to families that have experienced the devastation of losing a precious baby or child.

This kind of peer support is vital in the fresh trauma and grief of having your child die. Having a bereaved parent with relatable lived experience be there for you in your darkest hour is truly a life saver.  I can’t describe how it felt to speak with another loss parent in those days it was a true salvation. 

I hope you’ll support us with a kind donation today, and help make the world a bright place for the little lives and their families that need it most.

We're fundraising to save little lives this August!

Every day, nine babies and children are lost suddenly or unexpectedly in Australia.

Some families only get minutes or days with their precious little ones. Others never get to see their child take their first breath.

We want to support parents that have experienced this unimaginable heartbreak, and raise funds to help save little lives – that’s why we're taking on the Red, Set, Go Challenge this August!

Donate to our fundraiser now and you’ll help fund vital research that will save little lives – and provide counselling and support to families that have experienced the devastation of losing a precious baby or child.

We hope you’ll support us with a kind donation today, and help make the world a bright place for the little lives and their families that need it most.
