For the second year, we are excited to be entering a team in the HBF Run for a Reason to be held on the 24th May 2015. There are three distances that you can walk, jog or run:
- Half Marathon 21.1km (no walking category available)
- Ramsay Health Care 12km
- Ramsay Health Care 4km
Over five years, the event has raised more than $4.2 million for over 100 local health charities. Tiny Sparks WA is one of those charities. Last year, our team raised a fantastic $3,310. In 2015, we have set our goal higher, to raise $6,000. Can you help us fundraise to provide the following to our community in Western Australia?
- $1,250 will be spent on printing and postage for 1,000 copies of an information booklet 'Hope - A guide to surviving bed-rest'. These will be distributed to maternity hospitals and obstetricians across the state.
- $500 will cover on the cost of running free monthly workshops for the year.
- $2,250 will provide 50 NICU care packages for parents of babies born very prematurely.
- $2,000 will providing 100 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.
