Luna's Run

By John Harb

I'm running in support of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at The Royal

Following some pregnancy complications, Michelle and Nick's beautiful daughter, Luna was born early at just 25 weeks and 4 days old.


Since her early arrival, Luna has called The Royal Hospital for Women's Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) home. Here she receives around-the-clock care from The Royal's exceptional team of clinicians.

"The team at The Royal have been nothing short of excellent. The team is smart, caring, and most importantly prepared for all the problems that may arise and take all precautions possible to avoid major problems. Everyone is so helpful and informative...they don't hide anything and try to be honest about what's happening, helping you feel like you understand where your baby is at." - Michelle

Inspired by Luna's strength and the commitment and dedication of the NICU clinical team, Luna's grandfather, John will be undertaking a running challenge to raise funds for the unit. 

Currently, government funding only provides the basics for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. Nearly all of the specialised equipment, programs, and research have been funded through the generosity of donors and fundraisers. Nearly 80% of the equipment in the unit, including the equipment keeping Luna alive, has been purchased through donations.

John is hoping to raise significant funds for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit to help fund purchase more state-of-the-art equipment, cutting-edge research, and life-transforming programs.

We look forward to bringing you more details about John's run in the coming months.
