5km Every Day for 31 Days in Support of Red Nose Day

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 have the chance to meet their child at all. It's a heartbreak that no family should have to endure.

That's why I'm taking on the Red, Set, Go Challenge this August—to help support families who have experienced the loss of a precious baby or child, while raising funds for the life-saving research, counselling, and support services provided by Red Nose.

To make the challenge even more meaningful, I'm pushing myself a little further by running 5km every day for 31 days—that's 155km across the month.

If you're able to, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps fund vital research to save little lives and provides essential support to families navigating unimaginable loss.

My Impact

I've helped provide 10 professional counselling sessions to families devastated by the loss of a treasured baby or child.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated so early. Your generosity meant we reached the original $1,000 goal before the month had even started, which is incredible. I really appreciate all of your support. I've now updated the fundraising goal to $1,500. Thank you again for helping make such a great start.
