Staff News - Mr Tom Price

 

From December 28 to January 17, Mr Price will run from Melbourne to Adelaide and back in just 21 days, driven by a cause close to his heart, and that of many. 

 

He is embarking on an extraordinary journey running 1500kms for the 1,500 fragile lives nurtured each year at The Royal Women’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit.  

 

His connection to the NICU runs deep; his niece Sylvie spent 4.5 months fighting for her life there. 

 

His goal is to raise over $150,000 through powerful stories and relentless kilometres during the hottest part of the year. Tom will be running an average of 75 kilometres a day, including several days of double marathons and beyond.  

 

Earlier this year, you may recall he completed 51 marathons in 51 days, uniting the NICU community to raise an astounding $125,000 for vital research, equipment, and precious kangaroo cuddles for parents and their newborns.
