Help me save little lives, support families and fund vital research.
I’m running a Marathon for Red Nose so that they can continue their important work supporting Australian families.
Each year in Australia, over 3,200 babies and children die suddenly and unexpectedly.
That’s nine deaths every day.
This is a cause that is close to my heart, and that is why I am raising funds to help Red Nose work towards a future where no child dies suddenly or unexpectedly.
If you can support my fundraiser, you will be helping to bring care and comfort to families when they need it most.
Your contributions mean Red Nose are one step closer to reaching their goal of zero sudden and unexpected deaths of babies and children.
Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting Aussie families, funding vital research, and saving little lives.
So please dig deep and together, we can make a difference for Red Nose and all the little lives they work so hard to honour.

Step 1
Wednesday 20th Jul It'll take me approximately 62,000 steps to run my marathon. Woahhhhh... mind blown. In some ways that doesn't seem like a lot, but in others... wow that's about 5 times more than my daily average. And I'll be running 🏃♂️Thank you to my Sponsors
