100km walk in the month of October - no baby left behind

Otago

I created this page to raise funds for two charities that mean a great deal to me and my husband. They've supported us through one of the hardest times we've ever faced. Still Mums and A Star Is Born do incredible work for families like ours, and they depend on donations to keep going. This is our way to give back to a cause that’s close to our hearts and to help others dealing with similar heartbreak.

As many of you know, we lost our precious baby girl to stillbirth at 35 weeks. These charities go above and beyond to support parents in our situation, giving their time and care in amazing ways. Without A Star Is Born, we wouldn’t have had the beautiful photos and keepsakes of our baby girl that we’ll treasure forever. Still Mums has been a lifeline, providing self-care packages to grieving mothers and running a support group that’s helped me find my way through this with the support of others who truly understand.

I’m also hoping to buy some premature baby clothes to donate to Dunedin Hospital, so other families can have a bit of comfort during tough times.

Walking for a cause completed   16 November 2025

Today was the final stage of my walking journey for a cause, and I am overjoyed to have smashed my objectives. I completed 10.58km, taking my total to 150.27km, an outstanding achievement. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who walked alongside me and extend my heartfelt gratitude to all donors, whose kindness is truly inspiring. Our collective efforts have yielded impressive results, with $500 raised and some wonderful knitted clothing donated. I am deeply grateful to everyone involved. With the page closing tomorrow, we will await the release of funds and arrange dates to make these incredible donations.
