ABOUT RUNNING FOR PREMATURE BABIES

Running for Premature Babies is a charity that gives sick and premature babies a better chance of survival. We fundraise and provide urgently needed neonatal equipment to hospitals in need Australia wide. The charity was founded by Sophie Smith OAM, after losing all three of her prematurely born triplets in 2006, and has grown to directly benefit thousands of sick and premature babies.

Our vehicle for fundraising is running. We inspire people to take on running challenges, either in mass participation running events around Australia or by joining our virtual Premmie Marathon Challenge each November.

In the past year our organisation has embarked on a successful expansion drive. This advertised role will be critical to the continued success of the charity and the impact we will have on premature babies and their families.
