July/August 2015 Fun Runs

The Swan River Run and City to Surf fun runs are being held throughout July and August. For the second year, we are pleased to be entering a teams in both events.

After the success of the HBF Run for a Reason, we have set ourselves a challenging fundraising goal of $5,000 for each event. A total of $10,000 would cover:

  • 1,000 copies of a booklet 'Guide to Surviving the Neonatal Unit' to be developed, printed and distributed to all neonatal units across the state.
  • 100 NICU care packages for parents of babies born very prematurely.
  • 50 bed-rest care packages to mothers who unexpectedly find themselves in hospital on bed-rest in the second trimester/early third trimester period of their pregnancy, due to complications or risk factors associated with their pregnancy.
  • Development of an early years strategy as part of our 'Growing'Up' support program..
