What an incredible Spring Challenge🌸
Thanks to our amazing community, the 2025 Spring Challenge has officially hit its fundraising goal of $25,000!
This year’s challenge holds a special place in our hearts. 2025 marks what would have been Sam Roberts’ 25th birthday. Sam’s legacy lives on through Cycle 4 Sam, created by his parents, Marty and Michelle Roberts, in honour of their little boy who tragically passed away just before his fifth birthday.
Every kilometre clocked, every donation made, and every cheer shared not only honours Sam’s memory but provides families facing the loss of a child with compassionate care through the Alongside: Grief and Loss Program. Together, we’ve made a real difference.

For the Mathie family, time together is precious.
With seven children, three of whom live with the incredibly rare condition Trisomy 10 (Layla, Lanayah and Raeshawn, pictured), every moment counts as they navigate daily life with unique medical challenges. Trisomy 10 can bring various health complexities including hypotonia, abnormal hand and feet positioning, cleft lip/pallet, gastrointestinal issues, and growth delays.
Recently, the family stayed at the Laklinyeri Beach House, a place where they could relax and make memories. Reflecting on their visit, mum, Amy, shared “Last time we were here, we had family photos taken by a friend. These were our first-ever family pictures”. This is a memory that the children and Amy are able to carry with them long into the future.
With Raeshawn preparing for another hospital stay, Amy expressed how much this time together meant. “It was perfect timing for us to stay out there. Thank you so much for having us over the last week.” The Beach House is more than a getaway, it’s a place where families facing complex medical challenges can find comfort and connection. Thank you to our incredible community for making moments like these possible.

At the heart of World Prematurity Day is a shared belief that every baby deserves the healthiest possible start, and together we can help make that a reality through research, care, and community support.
We are proud to support three vital research projects that are creating brighter futures for premature babies and their families. These include advancing brain development in preterm babies through DHA supplementation, exploring the impact of folic acid supplementation during later pregnancy, and preventing preterm birth through the Omega-3 Test and Treat Program.
With our research partners and our incredible community, we’re ensuring all babies have the best possible chance to thrive, laying the foundation for future health and development.
