24 Hour Spinathon 2024

I am taking part in the 24 Hour Spinathon and fundraising for premature and critically ill babies in The Royal Hospital for Women's Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 

Each year, the NICU cares for over 1,000 premature and critically ill babies - some born as early as 24 weeks and weighing as little as 500g. 

All funds raised through the 24 Hour Spinathon will help fund state-of-the-art equipment to give these babies the best chance of survival.

Every dollar will make a meaningful difference.

Bella and Bowie

Tuesday 17th Sep

My twin girls, Isabella and Bowie were born prematurely in October 2022 and stayed at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the Royal for 78 days. Thanks to all the care and support they received; they are now thriving. I will be forever grateful to the staff for their incredible work during the most challenging time of our lives. I am in awe of the work they do, the battles they face daily and the support they offer families at a critical time.

Giving back some time and some sweat and raising money for this wonderful cause feels like the least I can do in return for the greatest gift(s) 've ever received.

Every year, more than 1,000 babies receive critical care in the NICU at The Royal Hospital. Your support can make a huge difference in their lives and the lives of their families. Incredibly, almost 80% of the equipment in the NICU has been purchased through donations and fundraisers. 

Thank you to my generous donors

Our twin girls were born 32 weeks and 4 days. I will never forget how small and fragile they looked and felt. They were 1.3kg and 1.5kg respectively. NICU staff in RNS was absolutely amazing and thanks to them, they are now thriving. I wish you and your family the very best x
