10 Days to Go!

We are so overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness shown in supporting a cause so close to our hearts.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve reached our team’s fundraising goal for Red Nose Australia, not once, but twice! We’ve increased our target once again and would love your help to reach it.

Every step we take is in honour of Ruben and all the little lives gone too soon.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 🩵

We're fundraising to save little lives this August!

Earlier this year, our son Ruben arrived early, and after 7 precious days, we heartbreakingly had to say goodbye.

Every day in Australia, nine babies and children are lost suddenly or unexpectedly. Some families only get minutes or days with their precious little ones. Others never get to see their child take their first breath.

Since Ruben’s passing, Red Nose Australia has been there for us – offering one-on-one counselling, support groups, and a community that understands the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a baby or child. Red Nose supports families through all types of loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, SIDS, and other sudden or unexpected deaths.

This August, we’re taking part in the Red, Set, Go! Challenge – committing to walk or run 3km every day for the month to raise funds for Red Nose. These funds help save little lives through vital research and provide free counselling and support to grieving families like ours.

We hope you’ll help us honour Ruben by supporting our fundraiser. Every donation, big or small, helps make the world a brighter place for the little lives and families who need it most.

Thank you to our Sponsors

You are both two of the strongest people I know. This is amazing and I am sure Ruben is super proud of his parents.

Dear Rod, ‘Amigo’ and family In support of baby Ruben’s fundraiser No words can ease the heartbreak of losing baby Ruben, but I hope this contribution helps support you. Your strength in creating this fundraiser, even in the midst of grief, is a beautiful way to honour his memory. I hope the community surrounds you with love and generosity, and that the funds raised bring some relief as you navigate the month’s/years ahead. With heartfelt sympathy and support. Warmest blessings, Maria 🙏❤️
