Sam's Half Marathon July 20th 2025

By Samantha Coote

Help me save little lives, support families and fund vital research.

As most of you know Jack and I haven't had the easiest fertility journey. We suffered multiple miscarriages before Donny and sadly experienced yet another loss with an ectopic pregnancy this year also.   
A half marathon has been on my bucket list for years and after this loss (and the frustration I need to get out) I knew this was the time I needed to do it. When looking for support I came across Red Nose and knew I had to not only do this for me but to help raise funds for families who have also needed the same support as us. 
Red Nose has been around for over 40 years and the funds raised in that time led to the creation of the Safe Sleep Program, which has reduced the rate of SIDS in Australia by an incredible 80%!
But there is still so much work to do and so many families that rely on their support.
Make a donation to my fundraiser today to help fund:
  • 24/7 Support Services for heartbroken families after the loss of a pregnancy or child
  • World-class research projects in the fight against SIDS and stillbirth
  • Lifesaving Safe Sleep and Safer Pregnancy education and awareness programs
Any amount, big or small can have such a profound effect on the lives of thousands of Australian families.
So please, dig deep and together we can make a real difference.
Thank you!
