I’m fundraising to save little lives this August!

As some of you may know, I’ve experienced the heartbreaking loss of two babies — a baby boy and a baby girl — during two separate pregnancies. I was halfway through each pregnancy when I lost them, and the pain of those moments is something that has stayed with me deeply.

These losses are incredibly personal and have left a lasting impact on my heart and my life. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of them or wonder what life would be like if they were here. I carry them with me always, and I would give anything to hold them in my arms, even for a moment.

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.

I want to support parents who have experienced this unimaginable heartbreak and raise funds to help save little lives — that’s why I’m taking on the Red, Set, Go Challenge this August.

By donating to my fundraiser, you’ll be helping to fund vital research aimed at preventing these tragedies, and providing essential counselling and support to families who have suffered the devastating loss of a baby or child.

Thank you for holding space for me as I continue to navigate this journey — and for supporting a cause that’s so close to my heart. I hope you’ll consider making a kind donation today, and help bring hope, healing, and brighter days to families who need it most.
